Coyote Embedded in Car Bumper at 70mph

Below is a a true story complete with pictures of a coyote that got embedded in the bumper of a Honda at 70 mph.

I got this in an email:

When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on.
They didn't realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.
Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender - and very much alive.
Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12.
When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
'Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,' Daniel explained. 'We thought the story was over.'
After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice.
But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained.
At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome.
'[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,' Tevyn East said. 'I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote - it didn't register it was the whole animal.'
Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life.
'It flinched,' Tevyn East said. 'It was a huge surprise - he got a little freaked out.'

Tevyn East, who was in the car when it hit the coyote, bends down to take a look at the fur poking through the fender :

What Mr. East spotted as he bent down to inspect the damage to his car - the body of the coyote poking out through the radiator

The animal's head can be seen as rescuers took apart the front fender to save it after it was struck by the car at 75mph

As the animal struggled, wildlife protection officials put a loop around its neck to prevent it from further injuring itself . The front of the car is completely taken apart as the coyote begins to wriggle free

Tricky the toughest coyote ever rests in a cage after its ordeal - which it survived with just some scrapes to its paw .

Top 24 Pictures - What a Split Second Looks Like

Taking a picture at just the right time takes skill and luck. Below are 24 pictures that are exactly that.

Mercedes Benz Coated in White Gold

This Mercedes Benz is not made of stainless steel. Its owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire. Looks like the recession hasn't touched his pocket book.

It features the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque 0-100km/h in less than 2secs, running on biofuel.

That is NOT stainless steel, people, it is WHITE GOLD! I'm sure you'll sleep better tonight, knowing that the exhorbitant dollars you're paying for gas these days are
at least going to a good cause...

ESPN Gets Pranked, Brian Westbrook

I love it when a major news organization gets pranked. It's like just makes the whole process seem a little more human. In this case, it was the World Wide Leader in Sports.

The new modern day Robin Hood

This is one of things that starts as a really bad idea and ends up being a really good one. How does this kid learn he has the ability to hit clay pigeons with a bow and arrow? Boredom.... I love the 2000s.

Who's Bad?

All I wanna say is that I am glad to see that I glad the inmates in the Philippines have found a way to pass the time. Some of you may remember our friends from a while back. With the release of "This is It" they decided to pay tribute to the King of Pop once more.

Tiger Wood's Spoof

This is a great spoof on the Google commercial - the butt of the joke is our man Tiger Wood's.

For those who didn't see the Google ad? Watch this before the spoof.

And now the Tiger's Wood spoof
