Coyote in Lamar Canyon

The snow in the canyon should be more than a foot deep in mid-January. The dearth of precipitation and higher-than-average daytime temperature have done a number on the winter environment in Yellowstone, especially in the Northern Range.

And, you might ask, why is that coyote's belly so big? It would not be because it's pregnant - mating season is just underway for winter-spring 2024. Instead, it's very likely it just enjoyed a bounteous meal. Coyotes are capable of consuming very large amounts of food - especially meat - at one "sitting" because, of course, in the wild, you never know when and where your next meal will be.
