  Coyotes are smart.

  I saw a documentary on CBS that said otherwise. A coyote couldn’t even catch a bird.

  I’m familiar with humans creating cargo cults. Regarding your crow anecdote, are you familiar with the idea of anthropomorphization?

  Nah, come on. Don’t be ridiculous. Looking for traffic is one thing - checking an arbitrary box for a specific image just because humans do and understanding it immediately and without mistake is another. I don’t doubt it is possible to train a coyote to understand this, but there’s just no way this happened as stated in the post.

  I live amongst coyotes, and I see them almost every day. What are you taking about? You’re asserting a coyote can teach itself to use a crosswalk?

  Why? Why would a coyote do this? What is the reward?
