This wonderful mounted coyote was done for another museum by Mr. Reimond Grignon. Many people have mistaken this picture to be an actual shot of a live coyote, but in actuality is just another example of Mr. Grignon's wonder talent with animals. He has won numerous times in World and National Taxidermy competitions in the Master Mammal Category and is considered a true Master of Animals in the field of taxidermy. This coyote is a native of Maine.

Coyotes get very large here, much larger than its western counterparts and these animals come in several different shades of color from gray, brown, almost black to orange as seen in the above photo.

They are very common now through out Maine, despite efforts to eradicate them. The animals are very trap shy and it takes a highly skilled trapper to catch one. They also have been found to have the ability to "throw up" food that has been poisoned thus saving themselves. Coyotes are considered to be proberly the smartest animal in the world. They can survive almost anywhere, even moving right into town and cities in the west.

In Maine the animals roam in packs and stay in an area until all other game that they can find has been consumed. Then they move on to a new area. It is common to hear them howling at night. Below is a coyote lying down that Mr. Grignon mounted for a young boy. This was the first coyote the boy had trapped.

Below is a sitting coyote Mr. Grignon mounted for another young boy who managed to catch his first coyote trapping. To catch a coyote in a trap is a real feat and takes a lot of determination and effort. These animals are probably the smartest animals in the world and are very difficult to trap.
