Coyotes in this neck of the
woods?
If you
stay at the cottages at Hocking Hills State
Park, you may get the chance to hear one of the
more haunting and unforgettable sounds you'll
ever hear as the coyotes holler out their
high-pitched howls deep in the belly of the
gorge and in the dark of night.
Some folks have compared the ghostly echoes of their
yowls to the screaming cries of a woman.
But don't fear.
The coyote is not only one of the most elusive
members of the Hocking Hills wildlife but it is
also one of the shyest, seldom being seen by
hikers along the trails. |
