Coyote pic is awesome. Look at them chompers.
He does look like he was wounded, maybe letting the dog attempt to finish him off?
From the look of that thing, I wouldn't let me dog within 100 yards of him. He'd be meeting the business end of my .30-06.
Come to think of it, it could be motion, but the blur around that dog sure looks like someone had a little fun with photoshop.
