Some Coyotes in Yellowstone are more comfortable than others when it comes to walking on the roadways or being close to humans.

This coyote was running along the frozen river with a mate, but then came up to the road.  Since the mate was too scared to walk along the road, or be close to humans, he stopped and howled to make sure she was still following along in the tree lines.

It was really quite cool to watch this, and then to see them join back up with one another a few minutes later.
