Narrative:
Immediately after touching down to land; two animals ran perpendicular to the runway in twins falls. A fox caught our eye which was then followed by a coyote. We felt a sudden but slight swerve to the right and heard a 'thud.' the captain was pilot flying and continued the roll out without incident. Thrust reversers were deployed at or shortly after the time of impact with the animal. No damage to the gear was perceptible but we informed tower as soon as possible and a fresh animal carcass was found by airport authority.
