Can you spot the coyotes in this lush Yellowstone meadow?
A photographer has shared from last week in Yellowstone National Park, showing a lush green meadow in which two coyotes roam.
Can you spot both animals? (One is easier to locate; the answer is revealed at the bottom of this post.)
Melvin Laureano snapped the image Aug. 3 at dusk while on a photo hunt for more iconic park critters.
“I went to Hayden Valley before sunset hoping to see the pack of wolves, but I saw this pair of coyotes instead,” he told FTW Outdoors.

Laureano shared the image as a quiz to a Yellowstone-themed Facebook page. Several people said they spotted both coyotes after expanding the image.

Hayden Valley, which straddles the Yellowstone River, is a prime destination for tourists hoping to view wolves, bears, and elk.
But coyotes, which are often seen in pairs, can be spotted anywhere in the park, especially in meadows and other grasslands.
Laureano said this was his first visit to the park and added: “I was so amazed with its beauty.”
He said he did not see wolves but that’s a common refrain, as wolves often remain in cover and spotting them is generally a hit-or-miss proposition.
The image below shows the location of both coyotes.
