Mojave Coyote

Description

Was browsing through and wanted to get myself an early birthday gift as, since we will be traveling, we won't be able to do much in celebration.

I came across a listing for 3 coyotes for sale, 2 of which had been sold. The first two were very unique but then I clicked on the third and fell in love with the colorations. The warm reds, tans, and browns reminded me strongly of the Mojave desert, the same barren grounds that I had been born on almost 22 years ago. Early spring is always my favorite as those rolling rich dunes erupt with wild flowers while the cacti blooms. I cannot explain how breathtaking that sight is in the morning or evening, when the sun crests the sand, making everything glow.

This pup is smaller than the rest, only 38 inches nose to butt (others were almost twice that length) but it's the first coyote that has ever really caught my eye.

As with all of my pelts, I collect various color variations of different breeds not for the collectors value, but for the educational and artistic value. While pictures can be great aids, nothing has helped me greater with fur colors/patterning than a pelt seen in life, of which then I can translate later into a costume.

All furs are handled with respect and care. Please refrain from rude, crude, or otherwise flaming comments. Yes it is dead, no I did not kill it or have it killed, nor do I know of how it died. It is however coming from a trustworthy and legal source.
