❄️ COLD WEATHER PET ALERT ❄️

As temperatures drop, pets cannot survive prolonged exposure to the cold.

• Bring pets indoors — garages, sheds, and porches are not enough.
• Make sure animals have warm, dry shelter, food, and unfrozen water.
• No pet should be left outside overnight in these conditions.

🚨 If you see a pet left outside with no shelter or in distress, call police immediately.
That call could save a life.

Ever heard what sounded like a pack of twenty coyotes yipping and howling?

It's all a lie.

Chances are, it was only two.

And that's the point.

Coyotes survive not by strength, but by deceiving the world.

Biologists call it the Beau Geste effect, and it's one of the most sophisticated deceptions in the animal kingdom. Through rapid pitch-shifting and the strategic use of terrain, just two coyotes make themselves sound like seven or eight, convincing you they are something they're not.

It's all theater and drama.

And it works because coyotes can't afford direct confrontation. At barely thirty pounds, they can't compete directly with larger canines for territory. So, they bluff. They build what scientists call an auditory fence – a sonic lie that sows confusion and tells the world: this territory is already full.

Survival through illusion.

Long before biologists put a name to it, Indigenous cultures understood this about the coyote.
In many Native traditions, among the Navajo (Diné), Hopi, Lakota, Nez Perce, Crow, Salish, and Chinook, the coyote appears again and again as the Trickster, a figure who survives not through nobility or strength, but through cunning, misdirection, and opportunism. Sometimes clever. Sometimes foolish. Always manipulative. Always adaptive.

What modern science now documents in sound waves, Native storytelling understood in narrative form: the coyote lives by deception. It bends perception to stay alive.

So, the next time you hear coyotes erupt into yips and barks and howls, what you're experiencing is one of nature's oldest survival tactics: the power of the lie.
