Introducing: Ghost
If he sounds familiar, that's because I've actually used AI in the past to showcase what he might have looked like when he was alive, since there are only a few photos of white coyotes and most of them are gory hunting pics and I wanted to give him a little dignity.
Ghost's coloration is a bit darker in these photos than in person, but they did capture his markings pretty well. He was sold to me for $50 as part of a group of red phase coyotes, and I don't think the seller realized just how rare this coloration actually is. Luckily I saw the listing right after it was posted and snagged this beauty before anyone else could.
I originally did not plan on naming him Ghost; at the time, I had a running theme with my coyotes of naming them in Drow. Yinn = tooth/fang, for example. I had a few different ideas for him, but for some reason I kept accidentally calling him 'Ghost.' And this wasn't a GoT thing, for the record: I've never been a fan and hadn't watched the show or read the books.
For about a year this went on, and eventually I realized he just wasn't going to take any of the names I had in mind for him, so I settled on 'Ghost.'
Like Yinn, I suspect there's some dog in Ghost's lineage. I remember hearing that there was a small population of them in Canada that were the result of a Golden Retriever getting loose and mating with them, so maybe he's one of their descendants? I've seen photos of one other live white/gold coyote in the USA that were taken well after I got him, so I know there's at least one running around out there.
It's not as easy to see as with Yinn, but he actually has some similar markings, including a white-tipped tail!
He's one among my favorite animals in my collection and even has his own spot in my room on my tree stump ottoman. I like to have him 'resting' somewhere cozy. I've done some reconstructive work on his face to try to smooth the muzzle out a bit more, too.

" This too shall pass "
I believe that good will always overcome evil, just as spring comes, and with it eternal life, overcoming the bitter cold of winter. We will overcome this genocide very soon with God's help and your continued help and support. One of the advantages we achieved during the war is to convey to you our voice, which has not been heard for many years, and to reveal the nature of this occupation and its actions that have been covered up for hundreds of years.
I would like to introduce you to my simple Palestinian family, who lived in peace in a very beautiful house consisting of a ground and upper floor and a charming garden that we renovated shortly before the war, but the occupation had a different opinion regarding the barbaric bombing of civilians and homes. The occupation destroyed our dear home, which reminded me of my father, the dearest person in the world. My life, may God have mercy on him. The occupation killed every happy and even sad memory by bombing our house.
This is my aunt with my younger brother Ahmed, in his last year of school before university. My aunt's house was next door to ours, and she had been single for years. She was not married, and since we are a small family, I have no uncles, It was always my duty to check on my aunt and provide her with everything from food, drink, medicine, and everything else. Before I went to university every day, I always liked to go there to have breakfast together, chat and get her approval before I went to my studies. every memories the occupation destroyed it.
This our beloved home before and after Israeli bombing 💔
My priority is to help this kind old woman, when the Rafah crossing is opened, to leave the Gaza Strip safely for Egypt. I do not care about the homes destroyed by the occupation. Money can be compensated, but the soul cant be compensated. Iwant to see my aunt again. I want her to be with us again. This is really what I want. I want to send her money so that she can support herself in the northern Gaza Strip. The prices are crazy, folks, especially the food prices.
this is my friend Ali Al-Tababi, and my name is Ghazi Sheto, he was closer to me than many people in my family. I met Ali at university, and we had a goal: to graduate and work together. I will stay up all night to make this dream come true. He was always at my house, playing, studying, sleeping together and going to university together. We were conjoined twins. Ali and all his family members they are all died because of Israeli bombing.You can see the massacre of the Tabatabai family. May God have mercy on them all. I want to fulfill my dream and my friend’s dream and bring my aunt to Egypt and build my house again if possible.
We asked for 30 thousand as compensation, less than a little for what we lost in the war. Frankly, our homes cost half a million dollars, but I asked for 30 thousand so that I could bring my aunt and protect her soul from being killed and so that she could do that. Come to Egypt safely and give her food and drink while she is stuck in northern Gaza, but unfortunately I have only collected $500 so far.
These donations will go to my aunt, the old woman stranded in the northern Gaza Strip, to give her the opportunity to travel, protect her life from being killed, and secure her daily sustenance of food and nutrition. I ask everyone who can help, do not hesitate, because we really need help. Thank you all, and I hope you don't suffer as I do. We suffered, especially my weak aunt.
i Hope you all good thanks you for our support towards our cause 🙏🤍
