THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE ASKS WHETHER A COYOTE COULD HAVE KILLED THIS MASSIVE BIRD
I think that yes, it quite probably could....

ROBERT SCHNECK: Why Coyotes will never go extinct
Biggles, by the way, is monumentally impressed by this story.
Meet the wiliest of all coyotes: hit by a car at 75mph, embedded in the fender, rode for 600 miles - and SURVIVED!
When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on. They didn't realise this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run. Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender - and very much alive.
Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12th. When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping. "Right off the bat, we knew it was bad," Daniel explained. "We thought the story was over."
After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600-mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice. But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am that they took time to examine what damage they may have sustained. At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome. "[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill," Tevyn East said. "I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote - it didn't register it was the whole animal."
Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life. "It flinched," Tevyn East said. "It was a huge surprise - he got a little freaked out."
"We knew it was bad." Tevyn East, who was in the car when it hit the coyote, bent down to take a look at the fur poking through the fender.
Fur Pete's sake: What Mr. East spotted as he bent down to inspect the damage to his car - the body of the coyote poking out through the radiator
Wily coyote: The animal's head can be seen as rescuers took apart the front fender to save it after it was struck by the car at 75mph
Miracle escape: As the animal struggled, wildlife protection officials put a loop around its neck to prevent it from further injuring itself
The front of the car is completely taken apart as the coyote begins to wriggle free
And voila! Tricky, the toughest coyote ever, rests in a cage after its ordeal - which it survived with just some scrapes to its paw

More on the Texas blue dogs
Our friend Naomi West one of our Texas representatives, writes to tell us:
Jon,
I found this tonight. It's the same footage of the "chupacabra" caught on tape by the cop but it has an excellent shot of the long snout! They slow the tape down.
Watch the video here
I just thought you might like to see it.
Indeed we do. I wish that the media would stop trying to claim that these blue dogs have anything to do with the chupacabra. We have been studying them for some years, and it is certain that they are coyotes of some description. Either coyotes with some strange skin condition, or coyotes in the very earliest stages of speciation..

BALD DOG CAUGHT ON FILM
Those of you who have followed our activities for any length of time will know that in November 2004 I went to Texas with my then girlfriend to investigate the reports that a strange, bald, blue-coloured canid had been shot near San Antonio.
Now, Naomi West, one of our Texas correspondents who is, by the way, currently visiting San Antonio with her husband Ritchie on another CFZ related mission, has sent us the following piece of film which does seem to show one of these strange canids alive and running along merrily in front of a police car.You can view the film

If this is what it appears to be then it is highly important. The claims are that these animals are nothing more than coyotes suffering from sarcoptic mange. We have taken professional advice, and not only does it seem unlikely that sarcoptic mange would turn the animal's skin blue, but if an animal was THAT badly riddled it would hardly be able to walk, let alone bounce along as merrily as a grig like the animal in this film.
The story continues..
