rode with a coyote last night. . .
on my way home from work about 9.15 pm (i usually don't work this late but some dude was on vacation so i took his shift), i was ridin' betwixt mt. auburn cemetary and cambridge cemetary and a coyote came out and started lopin' along about 10 yards ahead of me from side-to-side for about a quarter mile and then slid under the fence into cambridge cemetary. it was pretty cool in that there are quite a few coyotes in the 'burbs around boston, but this was right in town. lock up yer cats--thems good eatin'!!

The one time I encountered several coyotes in Denver, they were more interested in figuring out what I was than running with me.
Hares do this all the time. Foxes run directly away from me. I'm thinking the foxes are the smartes animals out of the group.

Brunop,
You are obviously new to the area. That was not a coyote. That was "King Rat." About thirty years ago, he took up residence in the old Boston Garden after escaping from a Harvard Med School lab that was doing a nutrition study. I am surprised he went back to Cambridge after living in Boston for so long. I guess he misses those Elsie specials you get near the square. Then again, maybe he's just ticked-off that the Bruins missed the playoffs - AGAIN!

Obtacles are those frightening things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
