Coyote’s Choice: Adapt and Survive
Question 1
It has not rained for a long time. The plants are dying and animals are becoming scarce. You are very weak, yet you feel an urge to travel to look for food. You begin to walk away from your burrow, but you find it hard to walk. You decide to:
push ahead and look for food and water elsewhere, even though it means risking using up your last energy.
return to the burrow and wait for rain and food to return.Slide17
If You Chose
A. you survived.
B. you spent your last energy waiting, and did not survive.Slide18
Coyote’s Choice Question 2
You are a tiny coyote pup and your mother has gone off to hunt for food. While you wait in the burrow a strange piece of thin wire on the end of a stick is pushed toward you from the door of your den. You see it coming and are afraid of it so you:
(a) cower back against the wall of the burrow to escape
(b) attack the wire by biting itSlide19
If You Chose:
A. You survived.
B. you were caught by a hunter’s snare and did not survive.Slide20
Coyote’s Choice Question 3
You come to a place where people are living because you know there is usually some food nearby. There is a place up ahead where the smell of food is strong, yet danger is very near and threatening. As night slowly advances with the setting sun, you decide to:
Sneak in and eat as much of the food as you can under the cover of darkness.
turn around and seek food elsewhere.Slide21
You Survived!
