After this Coyote caught a squirrel, it carried it into a secluded area and then played with it for a few minutes before eating it. I don’t see Coyotes catch squirrels often, but whenever I’ve seen it they’ve always played with the squirrel. With gophers, by contrast, they’ll eat them immediately. I wonder whether the novelty of catching a squirrel prompts that, or maybe the squirrels aren’t as good at escaping after being caught for the first time.
