Coyotes have adopted the very successful scavenging strategy of, "Be near the Humans and eat their trash/pets/livestock, but stay away from the Humans themselves."
Fun fact- the Eastern coyote, particularly those in New England, are markedly larger than those west of the Mississippi! It’s thought that this is the result of some interbreeding with wolves, as well as- ironically- coyotes having moved up in the food chain here to fill the spot that wolves used to fill. There are no wolves in Rhode Island anymore, and coyotes fill that niche now. They’re also EVERYWHERE due to deforestation- one took my friend’s cat from the middle of Providence (it’s a small city relatively speaking, but it IS the capital city of our state so like…it’s not nothing)
I live on the Ontario/Minnesota border, we have both wolves and coyotes here. Almost every winter a coyote will chase someone’s dog across the frozen river into the other country. A few years ago a coyote was seen eating a deer on the river, it made the local paper. I’ve encountered wolves twice. Once when I came back from fishing and a pack was near landing. Another one ran down the back ally I happened to be in, I dipped into a random yard and it ignored me.
Lots and lots of coyotes. There's a pack that comes through my neighborhood every fall/winter, and I live in a very busy part in the middle of about half a million people. There's just a lot of trees and parks that connect to more rural areas, and so many animals follow the nature into the middle of things. Tons of rabbits, squirrels, possums, falcon and owls around my neighborhood, and even see large deer sometimes in our neighborhood park. The coyotes I mostly hear, when they make me jump because I never expect to hear a pack of them raising a ruckus outside my apartment window in a city. Will still see some of them from time to time though.
Eastern Coyotes, especially New England/Northeast, are actually crazier than western. They are bigger with more wolf and domestic dog DNA. I did pet a coyote when I was drunk and told it to go home thinking it was my neighbors husky.
Coyotes in New England are large enough to pose a threat, and dog enough to not be afraid of people. They even have attacked peoples leashed dogs while the person is walking them.
Coyotes and Wolves have interbred and become Coywolves. They are smart, they work in packs (coyotes hunt alone while wolves hunt in packs), they follow train tracks into cities and they look both ways when crossing roads, which is why your rarely see a dead coyote on the road.
I live just east of Clevland (Ohio) and we have coyotoes. But they rarley interact with humans as they are skidish. Most just run away. Even at a dark golf course on night when I was walking the path, I came across one and he just ran off a bit. Though later on my walk I heard him attack someones dog who was outside.
We got some big ones 9ver here thanks to all the dang deer...I love having the emerald necklace just took some getting used to the ever increasing wildlife since I moved here
There are not nearly as many wolves in the US as there used to be, but we definitely still have them. Efforts to reintroduce them to their former range have been successful, and the Gray wolf is no longer endangered in the US.
Coyotes are closely related to wolves. They have been getting more dangerous recently bc they have been interbreeding with wolves which is making their population bigger, stronger, and more aggressive.
I live in a partial rural area of CT and see them ALL the time. Though always dangerous, Coyotes can be cool at times, but are mostly the crackhead cousins of the fox and wolf (at least in my opinion)! They hunt in packs, solo, they will not only eat your household pet..they WILL rape them giving the season (☝🏿 victim's owner) and (also like a raccoon) will wreak havoc on all garbage/rubbish/trash. . . it's potentially just "Food" to them in any country. They will also attack you (solo and definitely packed), even if you're masterfully wielding a large push broom (2x sparring partner). *I'll admit though; I've been 🤞🏿🙏🏿 I'd come across a lost/starving coyote pup🤞🏿🙏🏿
Coyotes are small. Only about 22 to 30 lbs I believe. I ran into one, one night in Chicago. I looked at it, it looked at me. We both went our separate ways with no fanfare. They used to creep me out more when I lived in far northern Illinois. There were more packs of them. I still wasn't afraid of them, but their cries in the night are pretty unnerving. I didn't let my dog out alone up there, especially at night. Fun video. Peace
I've seen them in some of the larger urban parks in San Francisco. During broad daylight, too. It's unnerving, and probably bad for their survival chances for them to be so unafraid of and in such close proximity to so many humans, although I imagine the scavenging opportunities are better.
I live in Arkansas and they're really common even in the cities. At night you can hear them howling at each other and it is wild. They don't sound like wolves they sound maybe more like hyenas I'm not sure. Very distinctive sound once you hear it you'll know what they are for the rest of your life. You should check out some of the anti coyote vest people are putting on their dogs and cats. they are hilarious! 😁😄😁😄
We have coyotes all over where I live as well as black bears. Coyotes are definitely more of a threat when it comes to our animals. I have hit 1 with my car a long time ago. See them often and hear them all the time.
One of the cutest photos I've ever seen was of a coyote in downtown Chicago who, during a city heat wave, entered a 7-11 and jumped into the cooler for drinks and sat there, grinning at the humans snapping photos. Wish I could post pics here. Unfortunately, animal control eventually showed up and dragged it off.
As an American born it's so wild to hear you say coyotes seem like a mythical creature to you because they are everywhere in the states!! They are so similar to wolves, but they also look more similar to the average domesticated dog than wolves do.
We def have coyotes everywhere in Texas. I live in Austin and they are seen fairly regularly in the city. They will take a small dog. They're very smart and opportunistic.
I was confused when you said it was a less tame hyena and was typing a comment saying it was more like a dog-sized wolf, when you had that realization. Now try to imagine a coyotes acting like its less tame than a hyena... lmao. In my experience, the most difficult part about encountering a coyote is not petting it, they really are stunning creatures. But on that note- its pretty safe to assume that we have any given animal or similar in the USA (especially when you take out the obvious ones we dont have like the ones associated with a safari or the outback), BUT as an American, the only time I ever really think about what is potentially around me is if I am about to go camping or get in a body of water. Otherwise, those of us who do venture into the outdoors grow up learning how to identify, react, and respond to various wild threats through general parenting. "It takes a village" :)
Once when I lived on 15 acres outside city limits, a juvenile coyote came on my property and played with my young German shepherd. I was worried about intervening. If it ran off would my pup follow? If I showed fear or anger would my pup become protective of me? Fortunately, they romped for a few minutes and the coyote left. I also watched 3 inexperienced coyotes chase calves toward their mothers who quickly formed a circle facing outward with heads lowered. The connotes left looking a bit embarrassed. Where I lived until recently I would hear coyotes howling almost every night. I' ve seen more black bears than coyotes for years.
Wolves are being reintroduced to much of the western US. From none a few years ago, California has gone to 4 native wolf packs. There are estimated to be between 15,000 and 18,000 wolves in the US, mostly in Alaska, now but as many as 7500 in the "lower 48" states.
I once interrupted 2 coyotes that had a house cat cornered in the back of my yard(garden). When I came outside with my dog I scared them away. I don’t think they got the cat.
I live about 40 miles north of Chicago. I see coyotes all the time. When I was a kid, we would often go to Wisconsin on vacation. One of the highlights was going to the local garbage dump to watch the black bears rummaging through the garbage. Such fun!
Hyena are not related to canines in any way, different species completely. We have coyote around me, have had them in my yard. I'm not scared of them at all, but I do respect their capabilities.
Timber Wolves are pretty common in Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon. And there are small numbers in Wisconsin, Utah, and now California. Oregon has about 25 packs. I only know that cause I live here and work in a National Forest. We estimate 350 to 400 wolves as of today. So in the USA outside of Alaska we have about 2500 to 3400 wolves. But Alaska has a very high number. 50,000? We really don’t know. We also have Mexican Wolves or Lobos but they only live in Mexico and I’m small numbers on Arizona and New Mexico. There are only a few hundred left. We also have red wolves which are small wolves around the size of coyotes. There are less than 100 on the wild and in actuality probably around 30 or 40 left. They only live on North Carolina and they are breeding them on zoos and on an island off the coast of South Carolina.
I live in Southern California and they are very common here in suburban and urban areas, especially near the foothills areas. You can often hear them howling at night.
Yeah a lot of cities have them, but the people who live there don't even know it because you never see them! They are active night and are afraid of people, so they'll hide from them if any are nearby.
coyotes usually will move away if they see a person. Although, a few days ago I went out my patio door and looked up and there was one not 10 feet from me. We started at each other for about a minute. I was waiting for it to move off. It stood its ground and just stared at me so I went back in the house lol It can play in my yard if it wants
I am a conservationist in NYC, and even here, with 8 million people, there is a large coyote population. What people don’t realize is coyotes are great climbers, so fences, walls and buildings are not obstacles for them. Also, just a side note, but I noticed you talked about hyenas a lot in this video and compared foxes and coyotes to them. I just wanted to let you know that hyenas are no where close to related to canines. In fact, they are much closer related to the lions they fight than to wolves. Their closest relative is mongoose.
Just the other day I saw a coyote in a field behind the grocery store in my suburban Texas neighborhood. They’re not all over the place, but every once in a while you see one or hear about one that a neighbor has seen. It’s bad when they attack pets. They can jump super high, I’ve heard of them jumping over 8 foot tall wooden fences.
I would say that here in AZ and as well in CA we do not say Caiots. We say Coyote, and me being half Mexican I say it with the Spanish term, not the American butchery.
I live in the suburbs of Orange County ( think Disneyland) and I see coyotes all the time. They are obviously as smart as a dog and it’s not good when they lose their fear of humans. I’ve seen them in the daytime and of course you don’t want them around your pets or garbage cans.
Sup Luka? Hope your break from RUclips, and vacation was really great! Hope your weekend goes well, as well! For that matter, I hope everybody else's weekend goes well!
I love how confused you're getting at the comments, lolll. Maybe you're too young to have watched a lot of Roadrunner and Wile. E. Coyote cartoons? Or maybe they just weren't as popular in Britain, except for Lawrence, apparently?
I love all the "city animals"... the ones that have adapted to human expansion. Coyote's rarily interact with humans. They are not very aggressive. I live in Wilmingto, Delaware and our city pets are deer, racooons, opossiums, and coyotes. I love them all. When referring to ACME & TNT, that is Wylie Cyote from LOONEY TOONS (animation). Wylie has died about a million times trying to capture the road runner.😁
Roadrunners are a real thing too. Once as a kid, I got to see an actual coyote chasing an actual roadrunner. Made my day.
That would be cool
We also have coywolfs which are a breed between coyote and domestic dog
Coyotes have adopted the very successful scavenging strategy of, "Be near the Humans and eat their trash/pets/livestock, but stay away from the Humans themselves."
We live in Colorado and they are in our neighborhood. They don’t really fear us but stay away. Cats go missing all the time though
If they’re hungry, there not scared of anything!
Fun fact- the Eastern coyote, particularly those in New England, are markedly larger than those west of the Mississippi! It’s thought that this is the result of some interbreeding with wolves, as well as- ironically- coyotes having moved up in the food chain here to fill the spot that wolves used to fill.

New Hampshire here... New England coyotes are built different.
I've seen a coyote in nearby Warwick.
"Why would they release them in the UK?" 🤣
The ACME , bird seed , and dynamite references you were reading are "Wile E Coyote" jokes from the Looney Tunes cartoon series.
9:29 It is, literally, an absolute beast.
I live on the Ontario/Minnesota border, we have both wolves and coyotes here. Almost every winter a coyote will chase someone’s dog across the frozen river into the other country. A few years ago a coyote was seen eating a deer on the river, it made the local paper.
I’ve encountered wolves twice. Once when I came back from fishing and a pack was near landing. Another one ran down the back ally I happened to be in, I dipped into a random yard and it ignored me.

There are tons of wolves in the US. They live in forests.
Coyotes in New England are large enough to pose a threat, and dog enough to not be afraid of people. They even have attacked peoples leashed dogs while the person is walking them.
Governor Rick Perry of Texas shot a Coyote that was trying to eat his dog during a walk a few years back.

Those are the kinds we have in New Hampshire. They are definitely taller and you can hear them laughing from the woods at night.

In the Chicago suburbs here. I was taking the trash cans to the street for pickup a few years ago when a coyote ran by 3 feet away from me.
Coyotes are closely related to wolves. They have been getting more dangerous recently bc they have been interbreeding with wolves which is making their population bigger, stronger, and more aggressive.
I’m in Arizona. It’s Kai-o-tee. And we have plenty of! They ‘re afraid of humans, but little dogs and cats are not safe.
I live in a partial rural area of CT and see them ALL the time. Though always dangerous, Coyotes can be cool at times, but are mostly the crackhead cousins of the fox and wolf (at least in my opinion)!

Seen one cross the street, usually the tv informs that their is a pack around and to keep our pets indoors.
We had coyote puppies in the neighborhood last year. Their tiny howls were so sweet!
Coyotes are small. Only about 22 to 30 lbs I believe. I ran into one, one night in Chicago. I looked at it, it looked at me. We both went our separate ways with no fanfare.

Coyotes are small. It’s the mountain Lyons you need to watch out for…
In Southern California and I can see Coyotes a few times a week where I live.

I only know that cause I live here and work in a National Forest. We estimate 350 to 400 wolves as of today.
So in the USA outside of Alaska we have about 2500 to 3400 wolves. But Alaska has a very high number. 50,000? We really don’t know.
We also have Mexican Wolves or Lobos but they only live in Mexico and I’m small numbers on Arizona and New Mexico. There are only a few hundred left.
We also have red wolves which are small wolves around the size of coyotes. There are less than 100 on the wild and in actuality probably around 30 or 40 left. They only live on North Carolina and they are breeding them on zoos and on an island off the coast of South Carolina.
I’ve come face to face with a black bear in my yard. Fortunately, my Chow chow chased it off.
Wolves have always been hated by people who keep livestock. I find it surprising that there are still some in Europe.
Coyotes will not run if they are in a pack. Trust me I know, they will attack.
We have them here at the bottom of Michigan
Wolves started to die out due to vampires draining them of there blood.
Hyenas aren't dogs, btw. 😉
Coyotes fill the ecological niche that jackals hold in Europe and Asia.
I live in Southern California and they are very common here in suburban and urban areas, especially near the foothills areas. You can often hear them howling at night.
55yr old from Iowa and not sure if I have ever seen one
A wolf is much bigger than a coyote hundreds in Yellowstone Park
If 'kai-YOT' is your preferred pronunciation, then chances are you think that a burger from McDonald's is a high end meal.
Yeah a lot of cities have them, but the people who live there don't even know it because you never see them! They are active night and are afraid of people, so they'll hide from them if any are nearby.

Thurston, you gotta watch Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote cartoons to get the jokes in the comments lol! Some of the most classic American cartoons

In Texas coyotes are considered pests by some. Some people shoot them on sight if a coyote wanders onto their land.
I would say that here in AZ and as well in CA we do not say Caiots. We say Coyote, and me being half Mexican I say it with the Spanish term, not the American butchery.
I think coyotes are far far less dangerous than a Hyena
Dags?😂❤❤

Canine predator order: WOLF --> COYOTE -->FOX.
Sup Luka? Hope your break from RUclips, and vacation was really great! Hope your weekend goes well, as well!
For that matter, I hope everybody else's weekend goes well!
6:34 "What happened with wolves?" What?! Jesus fucking Christ 🤦🏻♂️
Not to Bright
Coyotes can breed with wolves.
The comments are talking about the cartoon
You’d be surprised at how many Americans have no respect for there own wild life 😂 you should watch Yosemite tourist interact with the wild life 🇺🇸
Coyotes are misunderstood.
I love how confused you're getting at the comments, lolll. Maybe you're too young to have watched a lot of Roadrunner and Wile. E. Coyote cartoons? Or maybe they just weren't as popular in Britain, except for Lawrence, apparently?
How is it you can watch an entire video and still pronounce it wrong.
I love all the "city animals"... the ones that have adapted to human expansion.
