- Black coyote at trail cam! "Black coat coloration, or melanism, is a trait that is occasionally seen in coyotes in the Southeast, although it is rarely exhibited by coyotes elsewhere. The same genetic mutation that causes the trait in coyotes can also be found in black-colored gray and red wolves, as well as in dogs. This suggests that the trait could have found its way into the southeastern coyote gene pool through past hybridizations with wolves." - atlantacoyoteproject.org/mela...

Wow in all my years I've never seen a black coyote beautiful pictures thanks for sharing
Elizabeth Hodge i believe this is what called a red wolf. They have repopulated those and many have cross bred. The white mark on chest shows domestic genes.
Oh wow! Hes beautiful really is.
I believe that is actually a red wolf
@Pete R because this wolf has red in several patches and we only have one breed of wolf and that’s red wolves in WNC
@@carvertwin76 I thought Red Wolves were only on some areas in Eastern North Carolina?
That coyote sure is beautiful. I've only seen one black coyote in the wild my entire life. I was on a country road and came to the stop sign, it was up on the side of the hill across from me. It just stood there, perfectly still watching me. I watched it for a minute or so and then drove off. It caught me by surprise, it was like I was frozen for a little bit. Absolutely beautiful.
What awesome footage of this rare and stunningly beautiful black coyote. You"re very blessed to have captured this amazing animal on your trail camera. Wow... !!!
Awe! This made me smile.
Thank you for sharing this special moment with all of us.
Black coyotes are beginning to pop up more and more here in WA, cool to see them up close like this!!
Your videos are such a lovely break from the Corona crisis.
I've seen one before in a cow field in North Florida. We always felt like they could be coy dogs.
Wow, gorgeous. I didn't know they had black ones. We have black squirrels in the county I live in. Thanks for sharing, good footage!
How beautiful! Excellent trail cam work - great exposures and clarity!
Wonderful to capture these amazing creatures! Thanks for sharing.
This is so gorgeous!!! Thank you Tom!
Beautiful. Thank you for not killing it.
That’s very cool! Great shot and quite a bit of behavior, too. He rolls in stuff like my dog does.
How amazing! 😍 And it was very cute how often he or she rolled on the ground. ☺️
I wondered if that was just a Southeast thing because I have seen hundreds or more coyotes out here in the rural West and never even heard of a black one, what pretty boy.
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful coyote !
Coyotes are my favorite animal
Protect them at all costs!
I just found this video, I was googling black coyotes, I too had never seen a black one until my trail cam captured a picture of one last night 12/12/2019.
Where are you? This lil guy is in nc
Id love to see one.. I'm in upstate new York, saw a wolf once in my whole life.. but dont blink cus its gone. But the most beautiful thing ya ever seen for sure.
I qqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
That... That is Earth 2 Coyote. That's Black Coyote!
Black Coyote: Hello there
Coyote: *Gasps!*
Omg, she is darling! ❤️
I almost mistaken one of these for a German Shepard.
Just stunning! Thanks for posting .
Wow that is one gorgeous animal!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I've got one that has been showing up on a few of my cams about an hour south of you. Been trying to call him in with no luck.
That is one of the most beautiful creatures I have seen.
Honestly, this looks like a black phase eastern wolf. Absolutely beautiful and you were lucky to see it!
The way to tell them apart on video is to look at the feet and the ears. Coyote ears are long and pointed while a wolf has more rounded ears and coyote's feet are a lot smaller than a wolf.
Thanks for sharing the video!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Gotta love our mountain wildlife 🏔️🏔️🏔️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great capture 👍👍
What a beautiful animal!
Absolutley stunning..
So beautiful. First time I ever seen it.
Wonder why she's alone tho? Poor girl..shes def watching all around her byt she def needs a pack
😮 what a beautiful creature ♥️
Beautiful coyote.
Awesome video!
Beauty. I've been around yotes all my life and never saw a black one.
Man that thing is beautiful!
Wow, amazing. Never seen one before.
Wow what a beautiful animal
Quite beautiful!
That is a hybrid of some kind but definitely rare . It was marking it's territory any other pics of videos since then 🤔🤔🤔🤯
Probably not a hybrid or there would be very little chance for reproduction? Black coyotes are not that rare, have seen quite a few in the past while hunting with hounds in the southeast. They will cross with dogs (same canine family) and are called coy-dogs. This one could have had some German Shepherd mix back a couple of generations ago? Still beautiful!
@@dixiewishbone5582 We rescued a mostly black "puppy" with some brown on the back of her legs. My sister found her in a field when she was about 8 weeks old, all by herself. About 3 lbs, but almost half of that was worms. When she got bigger, she started making very strange high-pitched howling sounds and was highly aggressive, especially with dogs. Chased deer into the woods constantly. Our vet didn't tell us until after I had to put her down (she got tetanus when she ran off one time) that she suspected she was a Coy-dog. I wondered why she asked us several times if we wanted to get a DNA test. She grew to about 25lbs. Although she was untrainable, I really loved that animal and miss her very much.
Love this video and Hendersonville! I'm from Cola and come up there often. Any good nature trails around up there?
Great 🎥😊
I saw one when i was looking for deer in our pasture. Florida.
Wow beautiful!
Wow Amazing 😮 Thumbs Up
Black coyotes matter very beautiful animal
Beautiful animal
Great video? Did you lay some attractant or lure on the ground? If so what kind? Thanks for sharing!
I never place food out, but you can get 1 gallon of Wrights Liquid Smoke cheaply on Amazon, put some in a spray bottle and spray it about 10 feet in front of the camera. If they come by, they may stop to sniff or rub in it for a minute giving you more of a video.
Excellent video, I subscribe to your channel.
Thanks for sharing. Never saw a black coyote. Gotta google now.
Looks super healthy.
Gracias
Beautiful
There is an animal trail behind my house in Arden, NC. A few days ago I saw a black four-legged beast with a bushy tail run past on that trail. I'd never heard of a black coyote and had no idea what it might have been. Now I know. I've seen coyotes here, but this is the first black one I've seen.
This is a juvenile wolf, not coyote.
@@kaiembada Interesting. Are you sure about that? If you can substantiate that assertion I'd like to know more.
@@WilliamHunterII if u look at the image at 1:08 u can see the general posture of this animal. Compare it with that of coyote. Then u will see it is not coyote. In Augusta, GA and
Helen, GA and Tennessee I have seen some wolves. It is known fact that black wolves have the white specific mark on the chest.
Also look at the image at 1:12. Coyote does not look like this.
@@kaiembada Thank you for that, and I will check it out.
I saw one in Mississippi a few years ago. I though it was a wolf because I'd never heard of a black coyote.
Beautiful ❤
Beauty!
Such a beautiful animal. It reminds me of another coyote I saw on utube only yesterday, but that one was white. It is said that black wolves in North America are the result of long ago hybridization with domestic dogs. Maybe the same thing is happening with coyotes.
Nice! Better than my video, we rarely ever catch them during daylight.
I wonder what he is rolling in. He’s gorgeous!
I literally just seen one walking back from the store I ran and he ran. 😩😂
guy at work took a pic of one he is trying to get. We are in NC too.
I love that melanistic coyote.
That's so cool
Beautiful .... could be coywolf.. thanks for posting.
Awesome video. Anything new happen to show up
I have one on trail camera photo in Ramseur NC about two years ago off of Wright Country Road
Beautiful coyote! What is he rolling in?
Skunk gland oil.
He is beautiful. He has white on his chest.
Wow beautiful
Wow!
These are super rare with black fur. We just harvested one today on a farm that has been menaced by predators for years. They are beautiful.
Do you have a pic?
Wildlife Behind Our Home in Hendersonville, NC Yes let me upload a link one minute.

Wildlife Behind Our Home in Hendersonville, NC That is a screenshot from the video on my phone. We will be uploading a full video on a new channel we are creating.
Let me know the channel! I've noticed the black ones sometimes seem to have more squarish noses and they tend to look more dog and wolf-like.
Nice
Question, what area was this, I too saw a black one , in Etowah area in NC, a few years ago...my first thought was a wolf ....good to know!
nice quality video. What trail camera are you using and how much do they cost ?
The camera is a Browning Spec Ops Full HD and is set to 1920 X 1080 HD. Its the best video trail cam for the price. I also use the Videopad program to edit them which helps a lot in sharpening the night time videos. Do not purchase the Spec Ops Platinum 2016 model! They all have audio problems. Here is an article with pics: mountainx.com/living/videos-show-wildlife-at-ease-behind-henderson-county-home/
This model is what I mostly have now -www.google.com/shopping/product/4412430873776752788?q=Browning+BTC-8FHD+10MP+Spec+Ops&biw=1245&bih=607&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.&bvm=bv.131286987,d.eWE&tch=1&ech=1&psi=s0fCV9nlBoKXmwGD3oEI.1472350131106.3&prds=hsec:online,paur:ClkAsKraXzRGL2mck5gY6zUqWwKfiR4_P9PjdOAaFp8JKF2OeZph3kLhG5hOaWSzRUKaJIAv2pz5r4aIDLYkunXmq31MgYcmGu16l4hCDF0mwS1Kss_Hd8DTIxIZAFPVH711_YAtXvd16G4C1mxAAsFOiTTUIQ&ved=0ahUKEwjK4fvWg-POAhWGTCYKHWG0DskQ2SsIIg
Got to be dog hybrid, especially with the white chest? Very pretty
can I ask where abouts in Hendersonville this was taken? I live off of Kanuga Road and really feel that I have seen one very very similar to this and I'm curious!
Hi Hailey, It might actually be the same one. The territory for a female may range 8 miles, and a male as large as 40 square miles. I am about a mile back in Haywood Knolls subdivision across 191 from West Henderson High.
+Trail-cam Wildlife Videos from Hendersonville, NC that's really wild! I live off of Evans Road behind Kanuga Conference Center and I saw what I believe is this Coyote less than a month ago. Thanks for sharing this video! ☺

I live in Horseshoe and about 2-3 years ago I walked my dog after 11pm news and I bumped into what I thought was a wolf he looked at me and I steered my dog quickly back to house and when I went back out it was gone, back behind the horse farms off south Rugby in subdivision. Nobody believed me but I knew for sure it had to be a wolf (not that we have wolves) or coyote .... But thanks for posting I feel better knowing!!! It was beautiful as it was fall and his coat was full.
i saw this coyote in my dreams
Low honor in RDR2 be like
beat me to it lmao
scent marking pretty hard. beautiful animal
Actually it looks as if it had found some deer scat and was rolling in it to COVER its scent.
@@yarply12 i think you are correct! wish we knew for sure
Nice, from Belgium ;-)
Thanks! 😃
I have a "virtual" friend at Easley SC. I think I will visit him in person ;-)
Wow! Just stunning! Perfect footage....he even seemed to ne posing! Did you put a scent down on the ground, in front of the trail cam? Because he (she?) just rubbed and rubbed his fur into that spot...staying perfectly centered in the trail camera viewpoint!!
I used to use bacon grease. But I don't want to supply anything that is food for them. So, now I use Caven's Gusto (smells like skunk) or Wrights Liquid Smoke. If they are already in the area this will hold them long enough for a decent video if they happen by. You can get a gallon of Wrights Liquid Smoke from Amazon, pour into spray bottle and spray about 10 feet in front of the cam if the cam is at 1 to 2 foot level like mine. I use it every two weeks in the same exact spots each time for years and the wildlife gets used to it and it becomes a familiar "marking" spot for bears, coyotes, bobcats and foxes. Interestingly, I had a reporter come out one time and she told me that her editor told her to see if my videos were "for real" because of how they almost seem staged with the positioning etc. Well, a lot of work has gone into that. Strategically creating paths that make sense from a wildlife point of view and also intersect one another. This one is at a path intersection. I keep them raked because the predators like the quiet footing. Cameras at wildlife level. Here is her article: mountainx.com/living/videos-show-wildlife-at-ease-behind-henderson-county-home/
I'm starting to upload onto a facebook site, too because youtube video quality is declining rapidly. Here it is: facebook.com/North-Carolina-Wildlife-Videos-2028189684139424/?modal=admin_todo_tour
Wildlife Behind Our Home in Hendersonville, NC I didn't doubt this video was real. You can see that's a wild animal. Just beautiful to see. In fact, I thought to myself if I saw that animal...I'd probably mistake it for a pretty dog, lol! I knew something was put on the ground. That's smart....it enabled you to get striking footage of this wild creature! At many angles too! I put bird seed out for birds in my teeny tiny back yard. But it attracts the occasional squirrel & I've even caught bunnies sneaking on the deck when it's dark out...to get some of the seed that has fallen. So I'll put a little pile in yard, out of my dog's reach...so bunny can eat & I can catch a glimpse maybe. But the wildlife you get to catch on the trail cam is much more interesting!
Very cool, what cam are you using?
Browning Spec Ops Advantage and VideoPad editing program for TH-cam upload prep.
going to say we may be looking at a hybrid
My aunt just spotted one of these doing the same thing
I've seen one before in Fla Half Moon Wildlife Management Area in 87'
Cute
alone, free, and happy
I spotted one of those things in central NC about twenty years ago. It was an odd sight, but there was a pack of coyotes doing something on the side of a road. They were coyotes I'm pretty sure. However, a couple were red like foxes and there were a couple of black ones. Altogether there were about 15 coyotes in the group. They were just outside of a very large group of forests. Not sure where those coyotes got their coloring, but it was interesting. Too bad I couldn't get a closer look.
Yes, Coyotes have quite an array of different colors and coat types. Black and blond is relatively rare. I have both here!
i have light blonde here in middle tennessee
I think maybe that's a Timber Wolf...I have a IP camera ( LIVE STREAMING at times ) behind my house up on the mountain an see the same thing....They are trapping them in your area ( the South ) and relocating them up here in the ADK Mtn's of Lake George, NY ...but I could be wrong...anyway AWESOME footage and thumbs up !!! ;-)
Yes, she is a juvenile wolf, not coyote.
You're welcome. Do you upload at the highest resolution your camera produces? I upload everything at 1920 x 1080 and results are pretty good. By the way, I went to your link and it's amazing what you've captured. Couldn't, however, see the black bear clip. Video was ALL black.
+Isabel Cutler Thanks, I have a number of special techniques I use in the field to capture these vids based on a lifetime of wildlife interest. The camera is a Browning Spec Ops Full HD and is set to 1920 X 1080 HD. I also use the Videopad program to edit them. The problem is that the original videos look great. But once uploaded to you tube they degrade because of the over compression that you tube uses. They are trying to save space, basically. So my 600MB video becomes a 32 megabyte video causing visual distortion/pixalation when there is movement by an animal, Its a common and well known problem that videographers are well aware of and have been complaining about for years. Just checked that link to dailymotion and the bears seem to be working. Maybe a temporary malfunction? However, the latest coyote video is temporarily "age restricted" accidentally by dailymotion!! Their software keeps automatically/accidentally doing this and they have to keep reversing it. Also, I have a number of techniques I use to capture these vids based on a lifetime of wildlife interest.
+Trail-cam Wildlife Videos from Hendersonville, NC Just noticed that you uploaded at the highest res too...but TH-cam defaults to an "Auto" setting. Maybe you should tell people in your description to click on the gear menu and then choose the highest res if they're wi-fi can handle it!
+Isabel Cutler I used to do that to every video. Just sort of got weary of doing it.
Zig seen one today it was behind my house
What did you put on the ground to make it roll around like that?
Put this in a spray bottle and spray it about 6 to 8 ft in front of your cam about once a week. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WWO4FG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Seriously? liquid smoke. .
lmao it does stick, and makes humans salivate. who knew coyotes liked a good bbq
What is he doing when he keeps laying down like that? Thanks for sharing with the Hendersonville Lightning. I love seeing these.
Ads Lightning I’m 3 years late on your answer but just like any dog they roll on dead bugs, shit, or anything else that smells terrible. I can tell you from experience once you touch a coyote the smell will stick on your skin for days no matter how much you wash your hands and what you wash your hands with
The other day I had a scary dream about this coyote looking very scary and growling at me and my mom while chasing us towards our house where we used to live.😳
that isnt a coyote i think he may be part coyote but has alot of timber wolf resemblance as well
Ashley Rafus possibly but I’d suspect dog first as wolves are a very very long distance from NC.
Selfie-time!
Dude! I just got trail cam footage on my Browning HD of a what appears to be a Black Coyote too. Its at night under ifrared, but there aint a grey or white spot on him, really tripped me up. He looked exactly like this but under infrared. So hope I get a daytime picture. I didn't know they could be all black. Thanks so much for uploading this video.
Try comparing to these night time vids of mine - th-cam.com/video/zzDEd-MnJ10/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SALk1JarIzU/w-d-xo.html
Saw the vid (th-cam.com/video/T2QzkF4wBFs/w-d-xo.html) It does look like one! That IS how they look at night.
I can't tell if that's a wolf or yote both tend to be in packs correct? If it's a yote that's pretty wild.
Pointy ears, tail held down and small feet with slender ankles are some of the distinguishing characteristics of a coyote.
@@WildlifeBehindOurHome oh cool. I'm trying to bag one. Any tips on how to find them and get them close for a shot?
Not really. Never hunted them.
