I like these "Meanwhile in" sort of postings. This one made me smile inside, though the last sentence made we want to bite the humans too.

Coyotes are chasing skiers at Idaho resort, experts not sure why

Coyotes in Sandpoint, Idaho, have been exhibiting “highly unusual behavior,” which includes chasing skiers at Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort.

Most encounters at Schweitzer occurred in early January, including an incident in which a skier was bitten.

But the Idaho Department of Fish and Game said patrons should be on guard and contact the agency if they spot coyotes on the slopes.

“Before the coyotes could be located and dispatched, one bit a female skier,” the IDFG said Friday. “Although her injuries were minor, Fish and Game and Schweitzer Mountain Resort took the matter very seriously. Efforts are still underway to trap and dispatch the offending coyotes.”
