iN PHOTOS: Bald eagle and coyote share a meal, almost peacefully

A hunter in Terrace has some great photos of wildlife thanks to a trail camera he installed in the woods, including quite the moment between an eagle and coyote that almost looked like friendship. 

Jason Allen says his camera snapped the photos last week.

Allen says although there is no video footage, it is clear the eagle is dominant.

It appears from the photos that the eagle may have had the rest of the meal to itself.
