Elderly Trickster

A fairly grizzled Coyote

We saw an elderly Trickster (Coyote) on the west side of Tortugas Mountain this morning.  By the way he was traversing the mountain, we could tell he was a pretty old specimen; which made me wonder:  where do Coyotes go to die?  I've been hiking in the desert for many years and only have found a skeleton or two.
