It's A Riot

Trail cameras often reveal aspects of wildlife behavior that are common but not widely known. In this case, they've captured a group of coyotes engaged in a howling session. Contrary to popular belief, coyotes howl not just in response to the moon but mainly to communicate with each other or to assert dominance over territory, especially after a fresh kill.

Capturing coyotes in the act of howling is a rare treat for wildlife enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into their social dynamics. These images show the coyotes tilting their heads back, their howls resonating across the landscape. If you're nearby, you might even be lucky enough to hear their haunting chorus carried by the wind.
