A North Captiva Island homeowner recently captured a true “Circle Of Life” moment in the front yard of her home in Safety Harbor.<\/p>\n
Erica Maynard-Uliasz had just walked out onto her porch when she caught the drama.<\/p>\n
“I went out to take a picture of the gopher tortoise that shares the yard with us and the coyote ran right over him into my view,” she said.<\/p>\n
She snapped the accompanying photos showing the coyote helping to cull the island’s iguana population.<\/p>\n
Not sure if the iguana appreciated the effort.<\/p>\n
North Captiva is a barrier island in Lee County accessed only by boat or airplane. There is no automobile access. Visitors and residents use bicycles and golf carts to get around the island. <\/p>\n
The secluded oasis lies north of Captiva Island, separated by Redfish Pass off the coast of Southwest Florida.<\/p>\n
