Coyotes howl to communicate with other coyotes so it makes sense that a lone coyote would seek higher ground in the hope that its cries would carry farther into the night.
But the roof of a parked car?
The accompanying footage was captured recently in Tucson, Arizona, and shared by Mary Coleman of KOLD News 13.
I love this!
Thanks to Patrick Irish for sharing this video with us.

“Thanks to Patrick Irish for sharing this video with us,” Coleman stated Friday via X. “He caught this Tucson coyote that decided to hop on a car and start howling!”
The coyote appears to have entered an automobile dealership, perhaps inspiring one commenter to remark: “He might be ready for the Toyoyathon to begin.”
The footage lasts only 6 seconds and it’s unclear whether the coyote’s howls were answered.
