Joey Santore’s YouTube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t has meat-and-potatoes approach to the wonders of the natural world: it’s direct, informative and often funny as hell. Recently, while out in the field doing what he does, Santore came across what appeared to be an abandoned coyote pup. Emaciated, and possibly showing signs of mange, it was in pretty bad shape. After a quick chase, Santore cornered the pup and, well, just watch.
With the pup in rough enough shape that Santore was able to catch it, I’m hoping for the best, but assuming the worst. If it survives, I’ll be happily surprised. Fingers crossed for a bit of good news on this one.
