Bob Landis - Coyotes Play with a Feather

On March 12, 2005 Bob Landis was back at Blacktail Ponds. This time he spotted three coyotes from the Lava Creek Coyote Pack playing with a huge feather. He guessed that it may have been a sandhill crane flight feather due to its size. It turned out to be quite a great toy, at times leading to a three-way tug-of-war. Frustrated by its inability to get ahold of the feather, one of the coyotes grabs the tail of another and tugs at that for awhile.
