April Critter of the Month

Wile E. Coyote
Our April Critter of the Month is Wile E. Coyote. Wile E. Coyote is a Looney Tunes character created by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. He debuted with his frequent adversary, Road Runner, in the 1949 Warner Brothers cartoon “Fast and Furry-ous.”

A few weeks ago, in an effort to frighten the turkeys away, the Manor installed several two dimensional foam-backed coyote cutouts around the campus. Although Stan called them “Wile E. Coyote,” they didn’t look much like their namesake.
In any case, the turkeys were not impressed.

Could the coyote-on-a-stick serve another purpose? Sandy Becker spotted Linda Lingleser trying to ride one.
Discouraged Wile E. Coyote
I think our coyotes must have gotten discouraged. I haven’t seen them around lately.
