If this story hadn't have had photos along with it, I don't think I
would have believed it.

I didn't believe it! It does not seem physically possible so I looked
it up on "Snopes" and they even say it is true!

Of course I am glad that the coyote was OK but it is just really hard
to believe.

I went to look at the original.
It's all in the physics and how relaxed the body of the coyote was
when he met the grill.
Lucky coyote, indeed.
However.
That said, can't say I'm thrilled that he survived. Coyotes may be a
natural part of the landscape, but they are bold and dangerous to
humans and their beasties. I don't like it when I hear them close to
the house.
JMNSHO, and probably offending all the "Save all Beasties at All
Costs" crowd.

Not offending me Corinne. I keep my bedroom window next to my side of
the bed open about an inch at night even in the frigid winter nights,
Two of my guys (Old Chip needs to be out all night and my Peppy is
with him for company.) I hear the coyotes singing in the early hours
of the morning. I've never had a problem with them but do not like
hearing them close to home. Coyotes have no natural predators around
here and they are reproducing like rabbits. (We don't have many
rabbits any longer either.) I'm quite sure that the coyote
population increase is the result of development causing them to have
a smaller hunting area much like the increase in the deer population
locally.
