Better Start Runnin' [predator fight]

The other two coyotes swarmed Ignatius but Éldi didn't have much time to worry about the colorful male. He had his own problems. The coyote he had by the scruff twisted violently and with ripping flesh it tore itself free from his jaws, sending blood spraying over the freshly fallen snow. Surprised at the coyotes willingness to injury itself to get free of his jaws he was slow in reacting when the quick little creature twisted around and lunged for his throat. Due to the height difference he was already looking down and was able to counter the coyote. As it lunged up for his throat he launched his jaws down catching the creature's lower jaw.

Just as his fangs seized over the coyotes lower jaw the coyote that was behind him ripped into his ankle, shredding the thin flesh and cutting deep into his body. He flinched in pain, his jaws clamping so hard over the other coyote's lower jaw that he broken it. He could hear the bone snap and the creature let out a piercing squeal.
