A Burnaby coyote rescued in September is now the new cover star of the Wildlife Rescue Association's 2014 calendar. The association rehabilitates wildlife and promotes the welfare of animals living in urban environments.
This coyote was found on Sept. 19, lying on the road after being hit by a car. Ten minutes later, the SPCA was called and the coyote was picked up and brought to the association. The coyote was badly injured and was very quiet and weak for the first few days. After she began to eat more, heal and come out of shock, she started to act normally again, according to Yolanda Brooks, communications coordinator at the Wildlife Rescue Association.
The wall calendar costs $15 and features animals that were rehabilitated at the association and wildlife shots by volunteers in parks and wilderness areas around the Metro Vancouver area. Hundreds of pictures are taken, and the best photos that make the cut are compiled and used in the calendar.
To order a calendar call 604-526-2747 or visit their office at 5216 Glencarin Dr. Burnaby.
