A coyote caught in a jaw trap will sometimes chew it's own leg off to escape.
The least offensive explanation I can think of is a person drinks so much during a night on the town and wakes up the next morning next to someone so repellent that he/she would rather gnaw an arm off rather than wake the other person. The animal itself is, as you say, often beautiful, and the image is well captured. On 2/16/2015 5:03 PM, Knarf wrote:
I have no idea where the term "Coyote Ugly" came from because these are beautiful animals! First time I've ever seen one up close. Down by the lake yesterday two of them rounded the corner about 40 yards in front of me. I thought they were dogs and was looking for their owner. Then they walked into some brush and decided to make a run for it, right past me on a path. I had my M200 f4.0 on the camera and everything on manual so I just snapped and hoped for the best. It appears I had pre-set the right exposure and out of about 1/2 dozen I was able to shoot, this was the most acceptable. Not as sharp as I'd have liked and the framing is not the best (it's full-frame other than a bit cropped of the left for balance) but I can say unequivocally it's the best wild coyote shot I've ever taken: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/02/coyote-beautiful.html?m=1 Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome. Cheers, frank
