Hardly a bite for the Coyotes, a good meal for a diamondback!

Don't know, I think animals roving the vehicle while in motion is a BAD idea! Drove from TX to FL with a cat roaming the cab of my UHaul and the danged cat was either pacing up and down the dash or wanted to nap in my lap, which meant every time I hit the brakes the claw came out! Badddddd Kitty!!!!!
My old boss was lucky to survive when the engine of his P-40 quit. He said he just couldn't bail out....too much stuff to carry, his tommygun, survival kit, life raft, DOG.......Stuck it in the rain forrest and walked away! He did say that if he didn't have the dog he probably would have jumped! Got Lucky!!!
