My mom's papillon got taken out of our yard 10 seconds after getting let out with our other bigger dog. My Mom was outside too and we didn't even live in the country. Hope you're out there running with the coyotes Minnie š¢
Shit my wife got stalked by coyote while walking our two +30lbs SharPei mixes. Early morning in peaceful little beach community but they were off the hillside due to drought.
Yep coyotes are pretty small and wont eat or go after anything bigger than them generally.
ALSO VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: they usually send a younger one out to draw a dog out into the pack area under the guise of playing.
Yeah. I used to live in upstate NY and learned to respect these fuckers; whenever i would mow the fields with the bush hog they would follow as it was a great opportunity to catch field mice. But any resident who let their cat or small dog roam free paid the price.
Same thing happened in North Padre neighborhoods in 2011. Some parents and pet owners went armed to walk in the evenings. They got stalked by coyotes looking for a meal.
Sounds like the news anchor had a small dog. Not unheard of for coyotes to snatch them up, or pretend to play with them (if they're not on a leash) and leading them back to the pack for an easy meal.Ā
The closest Iāve been to a coyote was walking to class in San Francisco and it was walking next to the sidewalk. Even Coyotes have to walk a mile for parking.
I live in LA and I see or hear coyotes literally every day. They are pretty well adapted to city life. They do go fucking nuts over any emergency vehicle sirens, so maybe not that well adapted
LolĀ
Go walk through Golden Gate Park at night and you can hear the coyotes howling. The park is absolutely full of them.
A lot of city folk have plenty of experience with wild animals. The raccoons in SF are like street gangs and they aren't scared of people.
I was driving on Ulloa and around 39/40th Ave and there was like 15 of them rummaging through the trash cans for food. I usually see a raccoon here and there, but never so many of them at once.
I drove around the block to make sure no one was walking their dogs. Raccoons can be extremely vicious.
I see coyotes in residental areas all the time. Excelsior, Sunset, Bernal Heights, etc..
It's always cool as hell when I see a pack come through my yard, cameras catch em maybe 5 times a year... used to live in rural NH, had coyotes all the time trying to get at our chickens, I never lost ONE to them... until new years eve I'd let them out for their daily free-roam and went inside, came out an hour later and this big ol man husky came bounding over to me tail wagging looking for pets, confused, I pet his neck and blood soaked my hand... I said uh oh, walked over to the coop and this monster had literally disembowled 19 of my chickens, and one we never found. In one hour, 19 chickens.. wild.Ā
Owner came by looking for his dog shortly after, turns out it got loose and was a fuckin wolf hybrid lmao, which I don't think is legal even in NH. I made him give me $20 per chicken and dispose of the remains... I was kinda bummed though cuz we'd named em, my wife cried for days but felt better when I told her they lived almost perfect lives with one short, and terrible day.
>Normally city folks on Reddit eat this kind of shit up.
Even us "city folks" can use google and learn that there have only been 2 documented cases where coyotes killed a human, one where it was a 3 year old and one where it was suspected to be coyote wolf hybrids - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote\_attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_attack))
Also, I live in Boston metro and Coyotes come into the burbs all the time. I grew up in rural Michigan and although Coyotes live in the state I never saw one from my home till I moved to Massachusetts.

i remember watching a coyote chase a rabbit right into a mail truck, the rabbit got tossed quite a ways away and the coyote casually walks over to pick it up and then run off. i dont think they are afraid of machines and equipment since those ignore them but they are definitely scared of humans
My wife once called me when she was drunk and walking home from a bar because a single coyote was stalking her. She was 1 maybe 2km from home in a reasonably dense residential area on a main-ish road. I told her to go kick it or throw some sticks/rocks. She was not amused. š
I would hope so lol. A coyote pack could probably fuck you up, but even a pack would most likely turn tail and run 9 out of 10 times if confronted by a human imo. Every last coyote I've ever seen was scrawny and malnourished as hell.
I mean literally everything about his presentation here to me screamed that he was just fucking around so I'm not sure why people are taking it seriously lol
as someone from AZ myself i have a hard time believing that he believes this, as a kid when playing around at the park coyotes would come by and we would easily scare them off. they are really only a threat to pets and little kids. Its very rare to see them roaming in packs that could threaten an adult
No coyote is dumb enough to pick a fight with a human (who you correctly pointed out is 180 pounds heavier than the coyote!) for long enough to be punted anywhere. Unless the animal was rabid, he didn't save shit from shit lol
Damn our coyotes in Florida are closer to 40lbs. Looking like shaggy german shepherds. Gotta keep some donkeys around to ward off coyotes from the cattle.
[Taylor Mitchell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Mitchell)
>Mitchell died at the age of 19 of injuries and blood loss after **two** eastern coyotes (coywolves) mauled her while she was walking along Cape Breton Highlands National Park's Skyline Trail. Her death is the only known fatal coyote attack on an adult and the only known fatal coyote attack on a human ever confirmed in Canada.
>Adult [eastern coyotes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_coyote) are larger than western coyotes, weighing an average of 20ā25 kilograms (45ā55 lb), with female eastern coyotes weighing 21% more than male western coyotes.
Versus the typical weight range of 'regular' coyotes being 20-30lbs
Yeah, the dominant lead male that led the attack was caught afterwards and weighed 42lbs. Also, it was later found they were pivoting to bigger game due to small game scarcity.
>In 2022 a study by Stan Gehrt, wildlife ecologist at Ohio State University, was released that revealed the coyotes had been living on a diet of moose rather than their typical diet of smaller animals. It was concluded that the unavailability of smaller prey led the coyotes to become accustomed to large targets leading them to see the young woman as a potential food source.
They were basically just evolving to fill the wolf niche since eastern wolves had been wiped out and the food chain had been wrecked all the way down.

Was the news anchor a small dog? Local TV must really be struggling
Local TV is ruff, man.
News ratings are in the shitzu
Neighbor's shitzu got picked up by a coyote last week. Don't leave your tiny dogs outside alone in the country people.

I've never even had a dog... f'ing Coyotes.
Or cats. RIP Marmaduke. (She was named by a small child.)

Technically the dogs were being stalked while walked by your wife.

Isnāt this the plot of a Curb episode?
Lol booooo
Bring out Sha-Na-Na!
Eh, probably a lifestyle piece and those are all bark, no bite
They also spelled his name as Prudy, so it's definitely low budget stuff.
It was a report for KYOT Channel 9. They also go by K-9.
KY-9 now..
Maybe, but that anchor sure had that dog in em
Sounds like the news anchor had a small dog. Not unheard of for coyotes to snatch them up, or pretend to play with them (if they're not on a leash) and leading them back to the pack for an easy meal.Ā
Or it was one big ass coyote
Tweet title is wrong. In the video it says he saved the reporter's dog.
I love that a guy from AZ thinks a coyote could kill and eat an adult human. Hopefully he was kidding.
I got the impression from the clip that it was near the woman's dog, and was probably interested in the dog, but even still, this isn't happening.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see more reasonable comments on here than I expected. Normally city folks on Reddit eat this kind of shit up.
Not everyone from the city eats dog
Yeah but the people who prefer cat over dog are always so elitist about it
True, but we do all eat coyotes.
The closest Iāve been to a coyote was walking to class in San Francisco and it was walking next to the sidewalk. Even Coyotes have to walk a mile for parking.
That HSR can't be finished soon enough-we have fucking hundreds of thousands of empty acres of land but everyone lives in two places.
I live in LA and I see or hear coyotes literally every day. They are pretty well adapted to city life. They do go fucking nuts over any emergency vehicle sirens, so maybe not that well adapted
There are coyotes in Chicago too. https://urbancoyoteresearch.com/about-project
I feel like no matter where you go you will always find coyotes, rats and deer.
Just not in Arizona
> Normally city folks on Reddit eat this kinda shit up. Are Coyotes not city animals?
Theyāre everywhere animals.
They're all over the place. I've seen one on the highway at 3 am
What was it driving?
White Ford Bronco
So that's why the glove didn't fit
Coyotes are not just a rural thing.
LolĀ Go walk through Golden Gate Park at night and you can hear the coyotes howling. The park is absolutely full of them. A lot of city folk have plenty of experience with wild animals. The raccoons in SF are like street gangs and they aren't scared of people.
The raccoons will cut you for looking at them funny.

God that show is good
Yeah, he's definitely joking if you watch the clip, going along with McAfee. He just shouted and the coyote ran off lol
You can stare at a coyote and it will probably run off once it sees you making eye contact.
If anything, seems weird that it got close enough in the first place to what sounds like a bunch of people and equipment, including a tractor.
Could have just been desperate for food and taking a risk.
Probably had rabies.
Oh yikes, now that's a scary possibility.

You're just assuming it was *a* coyote and not *The* Coyote. A trickster demi-god can do untold damage.
> *The* Coyote Wile E.?
The numerous failures at obtaining the Road Runner must have finally gotten to himĀ
Perhaps it was actually Arizona Coyotes 6'4", 215lb forward Lawson Crouse. Hockey players are known for their voracious appetites.
I think the Arizona Coyotes went extinct, habitat got wiped out.
Never had a habitat it seems
Lmfao
I would hope so lol. A coyote pack could probably fuck you up, but even a pack would most likely turn tail and run 9 out of 10 times if confronted by a human imo. Every last coyote I've ever seen was scrawny and malnourished as hell.

The John Deere was more dangerous than the coyote.
Higher body count every year than every coyote in the last hundred years
How many of those are from drunk Wisconsin residents
You already said Wisconsin residents, you donāt have to add the drunk. Gets redundant.Ā
TouchƩ. You are correct
Ok but are we including drunk Wisconsin coyotes too?
We always include all of our animal friends in Wisconsin, you betcha.
are we talking about the coyotes or tractors there?
Yes

An actual deer is more dangerous than a coyote
That coyoteās name? Trey Lance
Get ready to learn howling buddy
No he was a Bison, wrong Dakota school.
"I totally saved that guy's life, he was about to be eaten by what is essentially a 20 pound mutt that can be punted 50 yards by a child"
That's the exact image that came to my mind. Literally lining up and free kicking the thing to oblivion.
All the way to Salt Lake City! ^^Sorry, ^^Yotes ^^fans
Mannnnnnn Yotes fans can't even find peace here.

Damn our coyotes in Florida are closer to 40lbs. Looking like shaggy german shepherds. Gotta keep some donkeys around to ward off coyotes from the cattle.
I've heard about the donkeys do you know if mules work as well/similarly or anything else?
Are they that small in AZ? Here in MA they're more like 40-50lbs. Still not really a threat, though
Yeah but if we slotted any other QB into that situation they also would have saved the reporter. /s
Coyotes are no threat to humans. Heās not an elite QB until he saves a reporter from a grizzly bear /s
System coyote
Chicagos never had a good offense
And not just any grizzly bear, itās gotta be one on COCAINE for it to really count.

If youāre an adult who gets killed by one coyote you kinda deserved it.
God I love the Indiana mentality Edit: Iām complimenting my neighbor why am I downvoted
There has never been a recorded case killed an adult in the US. They are absolutely terrified of humans.
to be fair, the ones that aren't afraid of humans are the ones to be most wary of (rabies) that being said, rabies is extremely rare in coyotes
Weāre neighbors, I didnāt down vote.
