Ripple Effect: Coyote Drinking on Roof Leads to Cool Internet Video

Disclaimer: This article is based on actual news from the real world – honestly! However, it has been sprinkled with a healthy dose of satire.

The internet and humanity at large were shaken to their core recently when a coyote was spotted drinking water on the roof of a salon in Los Angeles, California. The animal could be seen from inside the building, through a skylight that had beautifully rippling water gliding across it. The reader may need a moment for the magnificence of that scene to fully sink in.

Of course, when it comes to such events, it’s a thin line between world-changing and irrelevant, and that line is determined by someone having the wherewithal to record the incident for posterity on a cellular phone. Fortunately, an enterprising person in the hairdressing facility captured the water-loving mammal lapping up the good stuff and thus gave the world what it wanted, needed, and craved: another cool animal video.

“Coyotes are known to be very common in Los Angeles,” said a guy who lives in LA some of the time. “They are often found at salons and high-end boutiques, because of their obsession with styles and fashion. In fact, coyotes are known to be one of the most consumerist and bourgeois of all the canine species, along with Poodles and Yorkshire Terriers.”

“I have to be honest,” a person at the site might have told someone, “I started a business and had this building created, skylight and all, with the hope that a random animal encounter would lead to a cool video that people would watch on social media. This is a very happy day for me and my family.”

“This incident reminds me of that horror movie,” said a person who saw the clip online. “You know, the one where there are coyotes on the roof, and they’re looking down and scaring the people inside. And there are also some vampires chasing everyone… Now that I’m saying it out loud, it might’ve just been a really cool dream I had.”

“I think this might be an artwork,” said another person who uses social media. “The ripples of water create an ethereal, otherworldly effect, and the coyote standing on the glass could represent the fragile balance between nature and mankind… or something. But whatever the meaning, the most important thing is that it was caught on video and posted online, so that it could get a lot of views from strangers around the world.”
