Well they have figured out how to live in the city where the humans did not chase them with dogs, shoot at them, or catch them in traps. To be fair, there are no chicken coops or livestock pastures, but plenty of other tasty things to eat. No longer did coyotes worry about man or...
In areas inhabited by humans, coyotes have adapted to eat what is available. In rural areas, this includes livestock and crop plants, for example,cattle,sheep, maize, wheat, and other produce. In more populated areas, coyotes will eat raccoons, rabbits, domestic pets, roadkill, trash, and g...
I understood, though, that a lot of people hated the coyote, which will, on occasion, kill valuable livestock and, on rare occasions, even attack people. I knew when bounty hunters came to thin out the coyote population in the Rolling Plains because they would hang the carcasses on pasturel...

Coyotes arenaturally afraid of humans, but as they get used to living with humans they get less and less fearful, and can become aggressive. Pets, like dogs and cats, look like tasty treats to coyotes, as well. Will lights keep coyotes away?
Usually, coyotes are not anything to worry about for humans. Although for pets they can be quite dangerous. There have been a few reports over the last few years of attacks on people's dogs in the Boise foothills. For them to chase and attack humans, something way bigger than ...
Attacks by coyotes on humans indeed have occurred, so I don’t want to belittle these, but it should be noted that they are rare —exceedinglyrare — and when they have occurred, they seem to all be related to feeding coyotes. This week a story about an ultramarathoner attacked by a ...
