This is an alpha coyote male. He was feasting on a recent mule deer kill. Could be the result of a car or mountain lion attack. The coyote was part of a pack. This is the alpha because he ate first. And, I observed the rest of the pack hold back until he was finished eating. Bierstadt moraine along the Bear Lake corridor. Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon EF400mm f/4 DO ID II USM +1.4xIII, 1/1000s@f/5.6, ISO 800, 12/06/16 9:45am.
