Great video Mike. Filmed very well, informative and you did a great job narrating. Kind of brings me back to the Mutual of Omaha series with Marlin Perkins. You just got a new subscriber. Well done.
People are way too detached from the reality of mother nature these days. Your videos are a good way to ground people and show them what it's really like out there. We appreciate you.
Conservationists and wildlife photographers agree that feeding wildlife bait for video footage poses significant ecological risks, as it disrupts natural feeding behaviors and can lead to imbalances in local ecosystems. Scientific studies show that such interventions can alter wildlife behavior, making them dependent on unnatural food sources and potentially affecting their health. Moreover, baiting can attract large numbers of animals to concentrated areas, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Conservationists and researchers emphasize the importance of observing wildlife ethically and without interference to ensure the preservation of natural behaviors and ecosystem integrity. Food for thought.
It's strange the coyote didn't eat the raccoon. Where my dad lives coyotes commonly eat dogs and cats. So I thought they just ate whatever they could catch.
Could also be the case of the Coyote testing their stalking and killing skills. Killer Whales also exhibit this 'kill for no apparent reason behaviour' how uncommon or common this behaviour is would be how well we can observe any given animal.
@@Sean-li4jm They're wild animals with a different psychology than dog, because they need to catch food frequently enough to survive. Of one of their cats that went missing the coyote only left a paw and the large intestines.
Clearly the raccoons death was because a bait pile was set up. Man states he puts bait down to film and capture images. Don’t think this would otherwise happen as the man states the kill wasn’t for food but because the raccoon was competition for the food being put out.
*I agree to an* extent. There's not going to be a congregation of animals like this without a bait pile. But, if coyotes are occasionally attacking 'coons where food is plentiful, you'd think they would also attack them when food is scarce, especially if they're competing for the same forage, as the video states. But, then again, there wouldn't be a congregation of animals like this without the bait pile.

nice footage. I live in the country in central California. There is a pack of coyotes out here that like to hunt in the orange fields across the street from me.
In South Carolina , in a wild life study , coyotes devastated the deere population ! Hogs also played a roll in the devastation ! It depends on how one sees it but nature is always trying to balance itself . No one puts as much money into the conservation of wildlife as hunters , NO ONE !
Yes where i live the wolves get the blame,and of course they do kill alot of deer,but the coyotes seem to fly under the radar,and are just as deadly,in the 80's we were so over Rob with coyotes that the DNR had a bounty on them
Good video. I had never heard of coyotes eating corn but it makes sense. My own dog eats it when I feed the sheep. So I didn't think about the corn I put out to attract deer would be attracting the same animal I hate and try to avoid coyotes. Thanks for the info.
If you conducted a DNA sample on a few of these "coyotes" in the video, I bet you would find a lot of eastern grey wolf. We have similar looking canines in our neighborhood and that was the surprise finding
Aww, the other raccoon saw what was happening and rushed to help before realizing it was too late.
Are you sure it wasn't just running back out there to eat some more?

😄😄😃😆
3:13 vulture was like nothing to see here
that other raccoon was a real one for chasing the coyote but he then ran when he realized who was taking his friend😂
Another great video! Amazing footage, Mike!
oh wow i was not expecting to find Tierzoo here! love the videos, im a subscriber.
Oh wow the legendary TierZoo. I hope to see this content in your next video!
Tierzoo have my kids 😫😫
*ME FIRST BITCH!*
Wow, the legendary TierZoo!
He picked the one raccoon not paying attention from the beginning.
I enjoyed the video. The footage was very good and the narration was outstanding. Two thumbs up from Kingsport, Tennessee!
Great videos and editing. I love your narration, too.

That's the point exactly. It's not about being a softie. It's about respect for nature and balanced ecosystems. Sadly ignored by many.
Not exactly a "natural interaction" if you've baited the predator and prey into the same area.
Baiting these animals are one of the leading cause of spreading rabies
He’s helping the spread of rabies. Luckily for the Possoms aren’t able to contract rabies
@@haroldbrooks4235 Sorry, but opossums can and do contract rabies. Being resistant is not the same as being immune!
Lol Kansas's own David Attenborough. Excellent vid sir, thoroughly enjoyed
more like an Attenborough wannabe
@@gli5580 I do not cosign with your trollish sentiments
Awesome footage and information Mike! Thank you! I’m just beginning my trail cam adventure.

Like Mike said sometimes they kill them because they are a food competitor...
@@mjgolf1but its strange they don’t eat them also. Coyotes seem like they’re always looking to eat
@@Sean-li4jmyeah, youd thinknit would value the protein/fats over the sugars/carbs of the corn... guess he was addicted?

Awesome footage and narrative.
Thanks Mike. Great video.
I mean, it's not really fully "natural" if you are baiting these encounters with food
Really incredible video of nature in action. Thanks, Mike.
Amazing footage! You earned a subscriber here!
Those birds you call buzzards are what we in Canada call turkey Vultures. Nice Video, thumbs up for this one.
Lol their called Turkey Vultures in the U.S as well, no matter what country you’re in their Turkey Vultures
@@MartinezC. "They're"
Turkey Vultures and the common Buzzard are two different birds.
3:13 nothing to see here folks! 😂
I thought it was a turkey tbh until I heard him say buzzard. I don’t hunt but I’d like to learn.
and in Missouri. we hear many packs around our area at night. There are a lot of them.
Love your channel

Hay Mike that's some neat footage!! I didn't know coyotes will eat corn. I'm down here in AK not too far away. 👍
Alaska is close to Kansas?
Good camera work and editing. We have both Coyotes and Bobcats at our place, I wonder what they get up to at night?
Never get too comfortable around your enemy
How did you become so wise
Nice narration skills.
Thank you Mike
Interesting visuals
Straightforward story-telling
Thx Mike!
Great video Mike!

Thanks Mike. Interesting Observing.
Very informative, thank you.
I thought I caught a bobcat on my trailcam in my backyard.
Turns out it was my neighbor's pet Manx. 😺
Cool story!!!
Turkey vultures: "thanks for free food"
Great Video Mike!
I wonder how the rodent population is over there with coyotes and raccoons consistently prowling.
What a cool outdoors RUclips channel!
Nice Work Mike 👍

Well presented. Glad you didn’t say camera trap. No background music noise is appreciated
Are ypu feeding them ?

They have destroyed virtually all ground-nesting birds here in WV. Hardly ever see a grouse anymore
The SC study was only conducted in a certain type of forest that’s not representative of the eastern forest in general.
You sound like the old mutual of omaha wild kingdom narrator Marlin Perkins. Do you have a sidekick named Jim?
Good video. I had never heard of coyotes eating corn but it makes sense. My own dog eats it when I feed the sheep. So I didn't think about the corn I put out to attract deer would be attracting the same animal I hate and try to avoid coyotes. Thanks for the info.
"Kai oats" normally rule the roast?
They don't, they get clapped by Hyenas, cheetahs, and probably mongooses too.
Nature is not graphic. Nature is beautiful.
You’re basically my grandad but you actually know how to use RUclips
Well balanced presentation of coyotes as predators.
If you conducted a DNA sample on a few of these "coyotes" in the video, I bet you would find a lot of eastern grey wolf. We have similar looking canines in our neighborhood and that was the surprise finding
Thank you Mike!!!
whoever is feeding the wildlife is causing the interactions.
You do realize corn fields exist literally all over the country.
Interactions happen everyday outdoors. Nature is a giant feeding area.
@@claymac7895 no idea bits of corn just appeared on the ground like that. always thought corn grew on a corn stalk.
@@claymac7895 so how did the corn grains end up in that area?
@@ryanvanderveen8889- It does look like there was some provisioning
Great narration and footage. Kudos
That’s a lot corn on the floor but no corn stack 🤔
coyotes became the apex predator there because larger predators once native were killed off by humans and coyotes skipped under the radar
he picked the one raccoon not paying attention from
the beginning
What was the warning for again?
I wonder how ol' Coondog is doing.
How do you tell a coyote from a fox?
Coyotes eat corn to digest the scent of it to attract herbivores. Idk that’s just my theory
Where is this filmed? are these coywolves?
"May be unsuitable for some viewers who still drink Bud Light"
They are *normally* smaller than coyotes?!
isn't baiting these animals tampering with their natural habitat and dynamics?
good that I read the warning
that was brutal
That vulture was like "Nothing to see here"
"Move along!"
What are "Ki-yotes"??
Is it ethical or even legal to feed (bait) wild animals ?
Similar to the rivalry of lions and hyenas
They live in San francisco
Amazing how predators never eat other predators after killing them.
Amazing how they have to put a warning on something that's has been happening since the beginning of time, NATURE is cruel.
Your trail camera told the story because you baited it with food to attract animals.
They call that murder
Wow never new the raccoon would lose to a coyote
also, after a period of time = the color of the skin changes, it darkens .
You forgot small dogs
could be wrong, but i think that was a turkey vulture -- not a buzzard.
definitely not a turkey
Awww and it's friend tried to save it
The ever turning cycle of Life and Death in Nature. That is how it is folks. Doctor George Whitehead
Don't worry
3:13 ooh a camera, lemme flex my wings
Racoons don't stand a chance against a coyote. Yotes will eat anything that fills their belly.
Not true, a mature raccoon won’t get taken by a coyote. Raccoons are vicious and excellent fighters.
I saw a coyote do that to a skunk. BUt I also saw a cougar do that to a coyote.
Coyote yo yo.
Have you ever captured a black fur coyote?
The poor little raccoon.
Eh... the little fuckers carries worms that kill dogs and humans.
the way he says coyote bothers me
Raccoon's can fight hard.
Damn Nature! You scary!
Oh sorry, my dog got out again
So that’s part of nature, animals do that. That’s how they have lunch.
STOP PUTTING BAIT FOOD OUT !
