Coyote Found Frozen Dead In His Tracks, Literally

It is fake, anyone with any background in bio knows this just doesn't happen!

Coolest coyote I've ever seen.

I seen a Coyote frozen, not like that though.
This is in Albert after our recent -45c
I saw a coyote on the side of the road, frozen, and hours and a day later as well, there was nothing left, the crows tore it apart ASAP.

He was probably trying to run though the snow, than stuck in it.

I've heard of this happening with deer very, very rarely, but only when it is very, very cold, and not when they are in 'action poses', just merely standing.
I think it's something like they're still sort of asleep but stand up for whatever reason, die (I suppose for either an unrelated reason or because the temperature kills them since they're not being kept as warm by being curled up against the ground) and then are frozen in place. I've also heard of extreme temperatures being able to kill animals very quickly if they start breathing heavily or draw in sharp breaths because ice crystals form in their lungs, but I don't know much about that.

Anyway, I would assume this is a fake. The news report on it said that they did examine the coyote enough to see that it had an injury on its chest, suggesting that it had been hit by a car, but it doesn't seem like the tail would stay like that.

I agree with Mr. Alberta man here. Up in Canada we get close to -40 to -50 degrees Celsius. And the animals aren't affected.

right in >>>> ITS <<<< tracks.

Sorry, but I smell a rat!

I call bullsh*t. I live in Alberta where it dips below -30 C regularly during the winter. Coyotes do fine, thank you very much. Just ask the hares.

Looks like BS to me. Siberia I might believe, but not Colorado. Gotta be a taxidermied coyote somebody put outside and waited for the snow to blow around it.

His life is on paws.
