why is that coyote trying to eat a rock?

I love coyotes.

My sister in law used to have a dog she insisted was a red husky, but it looked like a coydog. She was a real sweetie though, and even got along good with Tater and Pokey. I've seen Red Huskies and I've seen Coyotes, and this dog had a lot more Coyote in it than Red Husky.

That coyote sure looks like it thought the panettone was a trap.

Coyotes thrive in both developed and undeveloped areas, filling the ecological niche left by the more particular wolves. Like squirrels and raccoons, the success of coyotes as a species has much to do with their adaptability.

Caution also has a lot to do with it.

I suspect that what he's doing is take very little tastes and waiting to see if it makes him feel ill or tastes poisoned, and that's why he's darting in and out like that.

I like Coyotes and in fact we have one near us in Tallahassee, but the next time you want to dispose of Pannetone, let me know and i will give you my address,

The Panatone was a year old and hard as a rock.
It was for the birds and chipkmonks
Panatone makes the best french toast.
The Coyote ended up carrying it off like her brother did Natasha.

Maybe seeing me on the periphery helped too.

That's one brave coyote then.

took me a little to figure out what the thread title was...at first I thought a coyote was eating a color chart...and I wondered why a coyote would be eating a color chart....

Man, that's the best bread on earth.(*) Or is it cake?? Or maybe it is a huge biscuit? Or a mutant pie? Who cares? Whatever it is, it is delicious! When we have it in the house, it does not last long. I bet that coyote is a panettone junkie now.

(*) That's hyperbole. I have not tasted all breads on earth.

The coyote is admirable for it's cunning and adaptability. It has it's place in the scheme of things for sure. It's place, however is not my property. Trespassing coyote = dead coyote.

My neighbors all have their hoods up because of the pack rats.
The rats will eat all kinds of shit. Once they ate into a water softener, and ate the nylon gears and the wiring.

The coyotes keep the rats down.

It's hard to patrol 10 acres of cholla and rattlers.

We have the Coyote. Our homeland security.

I've a pack of urban coyotes in the neighborhood...we've a lot of forested park land around here...they eat cats. The squirrels are too smart to come out of the trees unless it's to play tag with the cars.

I see them quite often and always explain to Rubin, my dog, that if he were a coyote, he'd starve because he's too stupid. He doesn't care, he still wants to play with them.

Trees? Shade? Wow OOHH Trees.

We have ferral cats and damned angry possums in our area. They keep the rat population in check nicely when they work togeter; cats kill 'em and the possums eat the carcasses.

Once we get the hobby farm rolling, yotes should be kept out by the double-line fence I'll be putting up. Alpacas tend to make short work of them as well and we plan on having a pair.

I live on the outskirts of the city of Boston, and I've actually seen 3 coyotes running down the streets, spaced a little bit apart on the same stretch of road, on garbage day. I was lucky enough to be in a car, but I often walk that stretch late at night.

Pretty good excuse for a CCW, sayin'.

I love the sound of coyotes howling at night,as long as they stay away from my barnyard I'll let em be,they kill a calf it's gonna full on yote season but so far in 5 years they haven't yet and I really doubt they will

Jinx,Coyotes will not harass you so really you have nothing to fear from them,feral dogs are another story though

Dude! Coyotes don't go after people! That would be biting the hand that feeds them. (Garbage, that is!)

Watching that video reminds me of that scene in Tom Horn, where they slap a lobster on his plate--- the coyote looks like he doesn't exactly know how to attack it.

Feral dogs are waaay more dangerous than coyotes. Hell, domesticated pet dogs are waaay more dangerous than coyotes.

I used to think coyotes NEVER attacked humans, but then a few years ago I was in Toronto and the news was full of reports of this young woman's death:

Coyote attacks on humans are very rare, but not unheard of.

Yes, but feral dogs kill on average 6 people a year in the US, and domestic dogs kill 30-35. Not saying there are conditions under which one would be in danger from a coyote, but feral dogs are a lot bigger danger and they do a lot more damage.
