Judgeing from the original photo, I assumed they were two other coyotes in the background. In the original photo, the coyotes eyes were very bright, but in the background they seemed spaced too far apart for one animal. I figured each was a seperate animal-resembling one eye each 'cause of the brightness of the reflections.Jeff
Y'sure this isn't a re-play of the old campfire tale?
Mort and Clem, a couple o' ol' Idaho sheep herders, were sittin' 'round the campfire and occassionally they'd see reflected in the firelight a pair of coyote eyes. For a couple of nights they took to carefully shooting between the reflected eyes and in in the morning they'd find the coyotes they'd shot "nailed between the eyes". Then, for several nights, they shot at a particularly big 'yote (eyes wider apart than normal) but wondered why they consistently failed to kill him.
Then, one night, Clem finally shined his big flashlight at the "big one" and saw two 'yotes, side-by-side; the one on Clem's left had his right eye closed, and the one on the right had his left eye closed.
