Meditation Monday
Episode 14
For this Meditation Monday we turn to one of our favorite canids, the coyote! Coyotes are often mistaken for small to medium sized domestic dogs. They have a long, bushy black-tipped tail, pointed ears and a narrow pointed face. Coyotes are known for how well they adapt to different habitats. They can even be found living in and around large cities. How often do you see coyotes near your home?. Video: David Betts
