These pictures of the confrontation between a coyote and a vole in Yellowstone National Park are pretty amazing. Click here for the whole set. But check out that vole! Little guy looks like he's shaking a fist at the coyote. (The vole lives, in case you're worried.)

Veni, vole, vici.
Having cat coyotes eat two of my cats when I was a kid, and also having had a vole infestation in my kitchen this past November, I vote for varmint over vermin. Kill it!
cat=had. It's early here.
OMG! That was cute. I'm going to just start sticking "cat" in for every past perfect.
I will need to see the rest of the MK Choi style guide now, pls.
I had coyotes kill my rabbits when I was a kid :(
Bastards. I now own ear muffs made out of coyote, if it makes you feel any better (it makes me feel better.)
IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: JUST FOUND HALF-EATEN SUPERVOLE IN BASEMENT (might acutally be a mouse but I'm more comfortable with SUPERVOLE). Thanks, current cat.
and @Goons: This man could be your new hero if you wanted: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CalfDr (read everything in his profile and policies, he's so much awesome)
My Jack Russell loves to kill those things.
@Maeve: AMAZING WANT.

Aw man, that poor coyote. You just know the other coyotes are gonna be all, "Duuuude, you totally got your ass kicked by a vole, ya big pansy."
Is it bad that I immediately thought of ways I could wear that coyote? If it's wrong... I don't wanna be right.
I'm no longer worried I might have offended you above.
Oh honey, the lengths you would have to go to in order to offend me...
The day is young!
I chased a coyote out of my neighbor's yard a few years back. Now I totally wish I'd caught it - think of the wicked warm glove lining!
That vole just one won for all hitchers, all prisoners of the white lines of the highway everywhere.
Sadly, the vole later died of a massive stroke. Stress.
Are you sure it was from stress? I heard that vole had eaten at This Little Piggy just the day before.
It could be meat stroke. We won't know until the voltopsy.

May I register a new account for Plucky Vole? Also, excellent indie band name.
With all due respect and admiration for your suggestion, may I say that I find SpyMagician's coinage below to be a far better indie band moniker.
"Tenacious Vole Legs," indeed.
I admire the Vole's gumption, but the best pic is the one where he's tossed in the air and you can see the little, tenacious vole legs stick out.
