what a gorgeous animal.
i honestly think it was just trying to play with him. if you notice it wouldnt come near til he starting "flexing" at it, stomping his feet/lunging forward etc. when you do that with a dog they get playful. and just by its attitue i think if it wanted a snack it would have lunged at the guys neck ya know?
that said. we have coyotes out here, and just listening to them bark/howl at night..id have to be in a pretty weird state of mind to get that close to one, let alone stick my hand out to it. lmao
