Trick or treat? A carved pumpkin became a treat for a coyote in Big Bear, California, and a trail cam caught the jack-o-lantern vandal on video. The video is spreading widely this week in the wake of Halloween.

“A coyote in Big Bear was caught on video gobbling up a festive snack — a pumpkin!” wrote ABC 7 LA News. “While the carved pumpkin was likely meant to be a decoration, this coyote found a more practical use for it.”
As ABC 7 anchors note, the coyote doesn’t seem sure whether it really likes the raw pumpkin.
