A coyote dubbed 'Tricky' peers out of the gap between a car's radiator and grill after being hit and trapped for eight hours...


...but the miracle animal survived with just a few scrapes.

Meet the world's toughest coyote.

Daniel East and his sister, Tevyn, were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah earlier this month, when their car slammed into a coyote that scurried in their path, reported Rex Features.

Believing there was no way the wild animal could survive the 75 mph collision, the pair kept driving for eight more hours to their destination, where they finally inspected the damage to their car.

When the coyote started moving, however East realized the animal had survived - and was trapped between the front grill and the radiator of their car.

A local animal control expert was called to the scene and managed to extricate the coyote - which had survived its ordeal with only a few scrapes on its paw.
