Abstract
In Jasper National Park, Alberta, a Coyote (Canis latrans) stalked a lone Bighorn lamb ( Ovis canadensis) for 25 m, crouched for 10 minutes, and rushed it from 110 m.It seized the lamb by the flank and eventually killed it by holding it by the throat.After attempting in vain to lift and carry the carcass, the Coyote left and attacked a nearby band of four ewes and one lamb.The latter was closely pursued into dense bush and probably captured.
