While looking through the National geographic site this week I stumbled across this beautiful picture of a fox at sunset in Yellowstone National Park.  I really like the picture at first because of the lines in it and its color. As I read the caption underneath the picture I was let down.  The photographer spotted the coyote moving and followed it to the other side of the hill to see if they could get a better picture that included the sunset.  The coyote was photographed with a wide-angle lens and allowed the photographer to get close enough to him.  This saddened me because it means that the coyote has been desensitized to human contact.  It also means the photographer followed a wild animal which is not good for the animal or the photographer.

Here is the link to the page with the picture and the explanation.
