Coyote recovering after container removed from its head

Things are looking up for a Northern California coyote saved by a human search party last week.
The female coyote was rescued Feb. 5 after wandering around Placer and El Dorado counties for at least 13 days with a hard plastic container securely fastened to its head. It was emaciated and dehydrated, and had wounds near its ears as well as tick and flea infestations.
