Coyote’s icy gamble in Grand Teton

Watching a coyote tiptoe across a barely frozen lake in Grand Teton National Park feels like seeing every risky decision we’ve ever made play out in real time. The animal, radio collar and all, starts across the ice—then stops cold as it cracks beneath its paws. It quickly turns back, probably rethinking every step. With winter coming fast to the Rockies, these thin-ice moments are a real hazard for wildlife. Anyone else relate to that feeling of realizing you’ve gone a bit too far and need to backtrack? Let’s talk about those close calls—animal or human! #Science #GrandTeton #Wildlife
