When you open the video, just copy the url at the top of the page and paste it here.

I hope none took the above seriously.
On a more serious note, this coyote is definitely suffering from AC virus.

.........AC virus?? i'm still working at getting it (vid) uploaded so you guys can see it. it doesn't appear to be injured in any way, and is the third one down here (near the 49th) that i've heard about this year.
i was also sent a video last year from a friend who had one in his farmyard.... it followed him around like the family dog (not injured or aggressive) and he kinda felt sorry for it when he put a .22 into it. probably the best thing he could have done though.
i'll keep trying, bushmaster is giving me some advice and may end up doing it for me.

Sounds Like (CDV) Canine distemper virus. A lot of raccoons in southern Ontario have been hit with distemper over the last decade. It is passed from animal to animal through saliva. If a coyote kills and eats a raccoon with distemper, he is very susceptible to getting the virus as well. All animals who get distemper will definitely die. Keep your pets away from animals that display this behavior.

Maybe it was drunk?
Or does that only happen with City Yotes?
