Begging Coyote

This coyote was standing on the side of the Glacier View road in Yosemite National Park. It was not waiting for the traffic to clear as it crossed the road, but rather was begging for food. Some people must have fed it in the past, so it realized that it could procure its daily meal by looking pitiful around people. The park service explicit discourages feeding the wild animals for a number of reasons, it is a threat to their survival, and obviously creates potential hazardous interactions with people.
