Tender

  • Species: Coyote
  • Born: 2017

Shy and lovely, for a long long time we couldn’t get Tender to go out into the Small Animal Garden. Serendipitously, we had a filmmaker visiting us when she finally dared to explore one cold, windy day. Now we have a very hard time getting her back in for the night.

Animal Fact

"Coyotes are not picky eaters. They hunt and eat small prey, such as rodents, rabbits and squirrels, as well as insects and fruit, depending on what is available to them. Coyotes can also work together to kill deer" (Live Science).

Our website presents an aspect of relating to wild animals that many of us don’t realize is possible. We believe that all Life is deeply interconnected and we have much to learn from each other through meaningful, guided interaction led by professional animal handlers. Authentic reconnection results in action to protect wildlands and wild beings.
