Observation ID: 159088

This coyote was hit and the person driving did not check to see if it was still living. When I came upon this animal, I thought it was roadkill, but when I got closer, I could see she was breathing and her eyes were responsive. It turned out her hind legs were paralyzed and her front right leg. I called Project Wildlife who referred me to SD County Animals Services. I waited about 45 minutes until the truck arrived. The animal-technician noose-poled the coyote and gave her a euthanasia-shot.
