    They were in manhattan in the 80's. My father used to jog at randall's island every day around 5am and he started seeing them while I was in grade school. I remember him talking about it switching over from stray dogs (he carried a stick) to coyotes (no stick seemingly required) during his morning run. Anecdotally from living in NYstate my whole life, I started hearing them upstate in the later 80's, but in the late 90's they started getting much bigger, howlier and seemed to be in packs more often. I've read that they bred with wolves at the NY Canada border, and it squares with what I see now. I hear them at least three times a week currently, and it's packs that lead off with howls, and then devolve into coyote yips afterwards. I'm about and hour and change north of NYC.

    Was on a night time bike ride on some trails in a Seattle neighborhood and I rode up on two coyotes taking down a deer. At first I just heard bushes rustling then for like 30 seconds heard what was obviously large animals fighting. The noises were horrific and then I finally got my bike light off and started searching. I saw the eyes and could just make them out through the trees. A runner came up with his dog who was freaking out and clearly sensed the animals. The next day I went back and most of the deer carcass was still there. I’ve since seen a pair of coyotes running around several times since in that same area.

    I live in rural Kansas, on a farm. The local coyotes have learned things like that a tractor or combine might scare up or run over a prey animal for them. Not uncommon to be working ground, and turn around at the end of the row, to see one running out to where I'd been, and then carrying a dead snake back to the tree line. I was bushhogging milo stalks one time, and one was just walking along the waterway, keeping pace with the tractor, until I scared a rabbit, and it took off after said rabbit. When they're not the occasional ones causing problems, they can make for good neighbors. They may never become family, like with the dog, but we'll settle for descent neighbors. They're able to adapt to humans without becoming domesticated. That's some apex level skill.

    I live in San Jose at the southern end and right next to the green belt. During spring and fall I listen to them all the time. They make a very entertaining racket. One night my wife heard a ruckus in the front yard and looked outside and saw a coyote with something in its mouth. She said it looked like a cat. We have a lot of feral cats around as well. One morning I was riding my motorcycle to work and there was one walking out from a yard and walked parallel to me on the sidewalk just sort of watching what I was going to do.
    A couple of years ago we had a report of a mountain lion walking down the street a couple of streets down from us. That got everyone excited. Like I said we live right next to the green belt and there are all kinds of wild life around us. In a town about 15 miles away a mountain lion walked through a woman's sliding bedroom door and took her dog right off the bed. Didn't touch her or even try. But the dog made a bunch of noise for a while and then she couldn't hear or find it. It is interesting to live so close to the green belt. To protect our dogs form the coyotes we built a double gate with the fence 7'2" tall and only 10 feet between the gates. Then on the top we have 2 ft 2x2s nailed perpendicular to the fence on top. This keeps them from jumping up and putting their paws on top of the fence and pulling themselves over. Incredible animals.

    We first starting hearing coyotes in the late sixties, growing up on a farm in southern Ontario. We didn't know that they were coyotes and called them "brush wolves". We didn't realise that they were the same thing as prairie wolves, another name for coyote, until a few years later. I live in a small city now and they come into the city at night. You see them but you never hear them. Yet, only 10 miles away, back at the family farm that I grew up on, you hear them at night all the time.

    Not even close. I spent much of my life in Alaska and even though you'd hear wolves all around you at night during a hunt, you'd rarely see them in daylight and when you did it was at extreme distance or a quick flash of them running off through the brush. Once you flew into some remote lake and set up camp, they noted that and removed themselves from your zone. I now live in a remote area of Arizona and even though ranchers shoot them on sight, coyotes will walk right past you or stand and stare in broad daylight. Coyotes are surely clever, but nothing like wolves.

      because for like 30 thousand years they learned to avoid or be aggressive and keep a distance from humans. The selection pressure especially after Europeans settled north América went up times a hundred because we shot them. the ones that survived are the ones that are on the look out and avoid humans and keep a large distance. when they see us they split. I believe in russia, in regions in which wolves weren't hunted anymore and the people there really had no way to defend or even shoot the wolves even if they wanted too. After like 4 to maybe ten generations....the wolves no longer feared people and saw them as prey if other food wasn't around. they would come into town and try to get into houses and actively hunt people and eat their livestock and horses. I will say they had no other food source. Like in sunderbans in India, its impossible to hunt tigers and they never were successfully. Its a giant muddy swamp and as a human your a sitting duck out there so they still regularly eat and hunt people.

The locals would arrange massive drives and kill every coyote they could. It was an 18 mile drive up that road and fence post were maybe 10 feet apart so just imagine how many coyotes were killed.

    Who is more intelligent. Easy answer. Every time humans try to eliminate wolves we absolutely extinguish them. Yet at the same time, we have conducted a massive, unrelenting, vicious, government-funded extermination campaign against coyotes for over a century and despite that, coyotes have expanded into every corner of America. I don’t recommend you read about the extermination campaign because it is, frankly, horrific. But to think coyotes have not just survived it but thrived is beyond amazing and a testimony to their intelligence, adaptability, and resilience as a species.

    The difference between coyotes and wolves should not be related to cognitive intelligence, but rather digestive abilities and adaptability. Western Coyotes live a largely solitary life, and possess a different digestive system than wolves, coyotes are omnivorous and can digest carbohydrates, whereas wolves are strictly carnivorous and they can not digest carbohydrates, and as pack hunters are better suited to take down larger prey, but being larger mammals compared to coyotes, and existing within a pack, they require much more food than do coyotes.

    I lived in the Antelope Valley in the high desert north of Los Angeles for 18 years. Coyotes were EVERYWHERE! Packs of them walked around the desert and in town with no fear and they were NOT aggressive. I would walk my dog in the desert and they would not attack. Early on in my time in that desert, I would take my pit bull for walks after work. The coyotes would bait him to follow them. I would let him go and he would chase them over the horizon. Sometime later he would come back to me with a big smile on his face. LOL

It's very clearly separate packs sounding off on each other, and they'll howl/yip at dogs that go near them or disturb them in the same manner that they do to each other. It's definitely as a cohesive group and targeted though. They were outside my house a few weeks ago, and after (smart lol) I brought my dogs in they immediately started a huge ruckus aimed directly at us from 50ft away. Pretty unmistakable that it was aimed at us as intruders.
