- This is the story of how the Coyote - at once revered and reviled - has learned to adapt across diverse landscapes. While grizzlies and wolves narrowly missed extinction, the coyote has earned its status today as top dog.

This is probably the most amazing wild story ever. Coyotes rule the game. This is pretty remarkable on a fully humanized planet!
Coyotes are living proof that adapting to changes and not the most strong is the key to survive. If you eat almost everything, associate with other species (badgers), and your appeareance does not look intimidating for humans, your chances for surviving increase.
When I was a boy on the farm, I was lucky to have for awhile...many wild animals and birds. They all were revived and set free. A coyote, a Owl, a Beaver, raccoon, opossum, Red Tailed Hawk, white tail deer..were my friends..I fed them..got them back to good health and set them free. It was alot of memories I still have to this day. I am now 70 yrs.old and remember each one..like it was yesterday....that was back in the 1950's and early 1960's...good times...
They remind me of north vet amiss soldiers you could hit them w it's everything and they keep t coming back
@@scooters47 nope...done right,an they will be too dead to come back...
@@davidledford6482 nope, people failed to kill them off, unlike how they failed to kill your cats 🤭. Sorry man but your anger is foolish
He tries to pull at our heart strings when he talks about a lamb being eaten by a coyote. He doesn't mention that he was about to kill that lamb himself.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😋
Noticed that.
Liked how they mentioned we bred sheep to be "slow and plump", as in not too bright but tasty.
So you'd rather the coyote brutally kill the animals that go into making your hamburgers and steaks?
@@Clair1801 yes, they need to survive. We fuck up everything we touch, I'm sure one lamb ain't gonna ruin our lives
... or that some think theyre not the lamb, but to others, that's what you are.
Finally, an animal that can give humans the middle finger.
That's a good one.
Yeah hopefully the ultimate finger will be a virus
@Dr. M. H. because they have been brainwashed into atheistic nihilism. These are people that are sick in the head and need medication. They are self loathing imbeciles.
😂👊
I feel that way when i see n elephant finally snap and stomp its trainer to death😂👊lmao or when the orca drags its trainer thru his pool for 30 minutes almost drowning em lmao. Not to say iwt see ppl be hurt, but ...ONE FOR THE ELEPHANT!!❤🐘
Humans have way overstepped their bounds in so many ways where nature is concerned smdh its sad
@@elcoyote9410 Let's all hope the human race dies off from a virus? What is this comment? Am I missing something?
I admire their resilience and their adaptation to almost any environment.
I love coyotes. They are very smart. We have a lot of them here In the city of Nashville. They don’t bother anymore but they are our neighbors. We all have to learn to coexist with them
That is right we move in to their home
Wait until they eat your little dog or cat or attack your kids.
absolutely
Unfortunately, people often hate things they do not know. In the same way, unfortunately is with coyotes

Coyotes are a wonder and beautiful. I had the opportunity to visit a young pup that was found and raised by humans so it couldn't be released so an animal education and safe haven agreed to take him in and built a generous enclosure. It was -overjoyed- humans came to visit, rolling over for bellyrubs, smiling and wagging so fast, bright blue eyed and excited little squeaks. And even as an adult with now golden eyes it's delighted to have humans come and visit. Even if this is not the way of wild living coyotes it's a wonder to be so close and observe their obvious range of emotions and intense curiosity.
I live on ranch/ farm land in New Mexico. There are groups of coyotes herding rabbits and mice and rats with their calls before dawn. We have cougars here too. So if you have kids playing in the back yard/ field, you need a few large guard dogs that follow your kids and/or an adult with a gun. Cougars and Coyotes are rarely a problem for an adult human, but in a group take down a small deer or calf in a heartbeat and shred all but the bones in a short time. If you see a lone coyote during the day, it is usually starving or rabid and that is a huge threat. We had a drought that lasted a few years and depleted the coyote population for a while. Then we had millions of huge rats everywhere. Rats feed on grains that farmers grow. Only the coyote keeps them in balance. So unless you want to live with millions of huge rats, we still need the coyote.
Interesting observation, its like the joke of a leaking damn, plug one hole get a leak in another part of the damn, kill the wolves you get coyotes, kill the koyotes, get rats. Interesting tactic by the farmer off feeding the koyotes and coming off better relativly if he wasnt.
christopher stimpson I live near the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY and they are around 60-70lbs. Much bigger in the east than the west because they have 25% wolf and 10% dog genes.
@@Upstatebackwoods Those are much larger than what we have here.
christopher stimpson a Canadian hunter just north of the border killed an 82lb coywolf a few years ago
@@Upstatebackwoods That's huge!
You get rid of the wolf's you have a coyote problem when you get rid of coyotes you have a rodent problem.
I got rid of my Coyotes and bought some decon and got a Cat.
Sad. For every "cure" there's a Pandora's box of issues to follow. The human story.
that was a Daffy Duck/Elmer Fudd cartoon and we never learn. one mouse and Daffy made huge coin.
Exactly
Nice.
Virtually every ploy has been tried at one time or another to eradicate coyotes. As the man said, the coyotes are way ahead in the "struggle". Excellent video. Thank you.
When I go crab fishing off the coast of the San Francisco Bay, there is one (?) Coyote that I knew as a pup that grew eating the discarded chicken bait from Dock crabbers. I made friends with it and came to give it water and regular meat. He actually walked so silently that at times I never knew he was following me when I'd take a walk while waiting for my pot to soak. SO SILENT! It's like they "Hover" rather than walk. Very silent. Even in walking through dry tall grass. Amazing. One time I was looking for a place to pee, so I went up the hill around the corner of a dirt road. I didn't care about the Coyote, which I named "Yotee." When I was ready to pull down my shorts, Yotee went up the hill past me but right above me. I thought that was weird. So I hesitated. Then some dark human figure came around the corner. It was around 1A.M. in the morning, so it was dark. I was counting on that to take a piss. But the way Yotee was acting, I stopped before undoing myself. The dark figure was some lone older guy, and he was following me, but I didn't know it. My fishing partner was in my car sleeping. I was all alone there, but not far from the car by a hundred or more feet. But it was around the bend to the dirt road, and if not for the Coyote that told me something was up, I could have been raped!!!! The guy got scared-off as the Coyote scampered down the hill from above me and stopped to block the road between him and me. They ARE good. They are PROTECTING and very smart!!!
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN RAPED,MORE LIKE KILLED MOST LIKELY
@@vidaminfeeder2 I wasn't, though. The Coyote was right by my side, and he had stood his ground. I'll never forget that evening. Since it was dark, the guy may have thought the Coyote was my "Dog" and didn't want to get bitten. Or didn't want to have a hassle. But I thank "Yote" for his excellent hearing and sight to warn me something was coming!!! I had a knife on me since I was out fishing, so I had a means of defending myself, plus I am nearly 6 feet tall, so I also wasn't a weak and unsure female victim by any means.
We need these boys as part of our ecology!!!!!!!!! Humans just don't understand....
I personally found a coyote pup in the west Texas desert where I am from and had him for 12 years and to be honest he was one of the best pets I ever had.
@Play List 5496 hahaha no I ended up naming him scooter LoL
I'm in deep south TX and recently got a pup that was pretty much dumped or found it's way at the water plant I work at. I call her lucky Lucy. Not sure if she's a coyote but she sure does look like one
@Blackfalk the one I found must have been no older than maybe 4-5 weeks old so it is possible I speak from experience, don't get me wrong he did have some behavior differences compared to dogs which were very apparent. It was verified by a veterinarian he was a full breed coyote who also informed me that I could get into trouble for keeping him but to be honest I became attached to him I couldn't release him it would have certainly been a death sentence for him.
@Blackfalk Absolutely not impossible.
i found a tiger cub an was a great pet until he was about 4,an was 400 pounds an killed my family...
I worked on this documentary as an Associate Producer back around 2003-4. Please at least have the courtesy not to strip out the titles and the credits: a lot of people worked very hard on this film, which was one in six seasons of 'Canadian Geographic Presents' documentaries that aired on Discovery Channel, and elsewhere around the world. The title of this documentary is Canadian Geographic Presents: Shapeshifter. It is narrated by Colm Feore. I am glad that it is available to be watched - it's a good documentary, but you should leave the credits and title in.
Why did they set tramps for coyotes?
wow i learned alot about shapeshifting coyotes. ALOT.
Poor coyote, it doesn't know it's being naughty. They're just doing what they're made to do. I think coyotes are amazing and cute.
not until it eats your pets
@@bee8470 To be fair, stray dogs will also attack pets, so will hawks and owls as well as other species, even cats. Your argument is pointless. Pets die, it's happened to mine as well. Animals don't have morals and they ain't gonna feel bad about trying to stay alive. It sucks. Get over it.
Coyotes r so intelligent & have a sense of humor & enjoy tricking humans..somtimes i walk my dogs late at nite in so.california where i live & in 30yrs of walking late i c coyotes on a regular basiis but in that same 30yrs ive only seen a mountain lion twice so i dnt kno much about ther personalities but i had 1 small female coyote that kept following me & my dog, who i let lose at nite 2 run,& wen i went looking 4 my dog i moved some bushes & the coyote was hiding rite in front of me & actually looked like it was smiling & had a look on its face like oops i gess u caught me & seemed 2 find it amusing & instead of running in the other direction walked right past me thru the bushes, i could c the intelligence & sense of humor in this coyote's expression..
i love them.....they have to eat like everyone else.....gid bless them
Such a heartbreaking fact that ranchers now commonly use heavy amounts of extremely overly toxic poison put inside bait to eridicate them. There was a huge problem with secondary and tertiary killings all the way up and down the food chain due to these immoral and evil killings. They also get into waterways and get moved around to unexpected places.
One thing humans can learn from coyotes is the importance of strong family values. And they do it without EBT cards and career welfare programs. Everyone works and has a place in the pack.
they eat shit when no food is available
No, sometimes they eat shit when their system figures out there's something in it that their body needs. Unlike humans, they listen to their body.
no. they eat shit when they don´t have other food.
👍👍yessss.
Most americans don't realize most of the eastern coyote population are also carrying eastern wolf genes because wolves were facing such a devastating force as we wiped them off the face of this country that they had to choose to breed with coyotes. producing the much bigger and far more adaptable coywolves/eastern coyotes we have now.
Yes! Search "Meet the Coywolf" on TH-cam. Like Hawg Wyld Fishing mentioned, this is fascinating. One national wilderness preserve up in Eastern Canada protected wolves when they'd been eradicated thru hunting and loss of habitat from the eastern North American continent. Coyotes and wolves were fierce rivals over territory in the past. And somehow they ended up interbreeding from a remote part of Canada.
Ok?
Yes sir!
“No other animal has survived such a strong effort to eradicate them.”

*Laughs in Australian*
rats
they are the best ratters..leave them alone ..
turn they loose in nyc and they will clean up man filthy way of life
can white man leave anything alone....i am ashamed of my white heritage...
wolves have always hated coyotes
I actually love coyotes, they are honestly smarter than most humans I know.
I can easily understand why you think that..................
Agreed. Near our house we see them all the time chilling. My dads farm is crawling with them and they keep the rabbits and mice out of our barns and silos
XxDapper wolfxX I love them too..but now I am afraid of them.
I have walked my dogs EVERYDAY in woods behind my house for over 20 years. I even walk after dark.
Then someone came in w a call and killed them...blew up dens and even shot the pups.
I noticed a SHIT TON of rabbits and squirrels.
And now I see a coyote everyday. I hadn't seen ine in 20years!
Because that guy wiped them out. The food source made them healthier. They adapted...and all the disease and parasites that would have been shared w the pack...was just killed. It never even want passed along.
They WILL stabilize...killing them very much increases their population.
They need the opportunity of disease and food source stabilization. The
playing dump is a quite functional skill this day, most people use it without noticing it. well, what proves how higher skill levels works. coyote playing dump meaning only one outcome.
XxDapper wolfxX 👍
I really love watching programs like this. It takes your minds away from all the fights and conflicts that are going on almost everywhere. Iran, US Africa. To name the few places. This program is educational and allows you to learn about these animals lifestyle.
GUARDIAN DOGS! We have been raising sheep on the Olympic Peninsula for 20 years. Introduced guardian dogs the first year after loosing the first four lambs born; have lost only a couple since. We have had Great Pyrenees, Maremma, and Anatolian crosses; they are very effective, couldn't raise sheep without them. We enjoy all the local wildlife including the coyotes (and cougars), they keep a respectful distance.
Great advice hope people are listening.
i saw a lone coyote cross a road and scale a 40' sheer rock cliff in about 3 'hops.' Probably the most incredible thing I have ever seen!!
These coyotes are no joke! several years ago they moved into our neighborhood and it didn't take long before we started experiencing car jackings and some home invasions. They are so sly.
WTF 😂
No kidding. I'm so tired of people vilifying coyotes.
can you beleve idiots like that are alowed to go on youtube and talk about killing cyotes he should be frown in prizon
Lol that's what i just said, we see coyote nearly every night trotting down the street, yet no one has had any pets missing here. Don't have petfood outside and clean up trash,fallen fruit etc. Don't be dumb.
They sure are a very clever animal, if you can call them animals. Don't quote me on this but I heard a Coyote gang out of Chicago are now moving into Identity Theft. The Chicago Coyote gang take out loans in the victem's name and make off with cash. The way they do it is by rummage through people's trash cans pretending to be looking for food but they are actually picking out sensative finacial information.
Be careful in how you despose of bank statements, credit card bills and this type of corespondence.
Remember they did not get the name is Wile becouse they eat your leftover pizza.
The reason their population is exploding in the eastern part of the country is that humans have largely eradicated all the other predators that kept them under control: Wolves, mountain lions, bobcats, lynx. Everything in nature has a niche; if you vacate one niche, others will fill it.
not to mention increasing the food supply ,with garbage that attracts rats and mice and causing those numbers to rise ,making more prey for more coyotes .
Yeah, that was stated in the video.
Had a very successful female coyote in behind my ten acres for eight years. Saw her a few times. Saw her litter disperse every fall. Lost one skanky chicken to her, a Leghorn. They tweak. My Rhode Islands would freeze like a rabbit. My cats were alwasy hunting in the bush, no losses. If you have a top predator around leave her be, as she will take out other vermin like racoons that would be a bigger problem. I live with her for years without issues.
The alpha male coyote literally flipped Dr. Crabtree’s trap over without setting it off then took a shit right on it😂. That’s intelligence and humor at its finestu
*Buy yourself livestock guarding dogs! They work incredibly well at reducing livestock loss through predation... Can’t help but admire coyotes for their sheer tenacity and intelligence.* 🤷🏻♀️
LGB's may or may not work. Most are bred to bark and bark and bark to cover hundreds of "Hectares" in their native country. Not a good fit if your neighbor is a few hundred feet away.
Livestock guarding dogs such as the Caucasian Mountain Shepherd or the Turkish Kangal .
@Dwight St. John. That’s just wrong. They don’t just bark. As others have said, breeds like the Kangal, Ovcharka, Tibetan Mastiff, etc have been bred over centuries to take on way bigger predators like wolves or bears. They don’t just bark at them, either. There’s even a brief clip on TH-cam showing two Ovcharkas harassing and chasing off a grizzly that has wandered into someone’s property. Those big Steppes and Asian shepherds are utterly unafraid of anything and they’re built and genetically wired to take them on.
Coyotes live one mile off the Las Vegas strip. I work nights and have known a female for years. She visits me about every night. I leave a faucet drip for her during the hot season.
I bring her holiday leftovers and snacks from time to time. She's a sweetie.
Bless your heart
I don't know how tf I even got here but I now love coyotes
We killed the animals that kept coyote numbers in check and now we're angry that they've grown in population. We need to learn the skill of thinking about future effects of our actions
Chap Stick unfortunately most people don’t understand that nature has its own check and balance system, to keep one animal population from growing out of control and causing other problems down the road for other animal species. I wished this was properly taught in schools and repeated every school year of how important the animal balance system is, this way it is forced into the kids minds. Instead of teach it one year and 90% of the students forget that lesson, by the end of the school year.
I couldn't agree more...
What animal kept the coyotes numbers in check?
@@spottedtime
Well said!
💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
Steven Taylor based on a quick google search, bears, wolves and mountain lions/puma/cougars. Also birds of prey most likely would hunt the small pups that leave the den too early. They all keep coyote numbers in check, but unfortunately the cougars and wolves now have low numbers to properly keep coyote number in check. I’m not 100% sure about the bear populations.
It was the coyote who taught me the REAL use of an anvil....
aho !!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...but it’s gotta BE...an ACME anvil...bright moments for you and yours.from Australia
Please love and save this poor animals
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do. I love to shoot them!
Im more a wolf person but the coyotes have my respect
They're basically wolves 🤷♀️
I knew of a talking bunny that would outsmart the coyote, and human hunters. He had a weekly kids show every Saturday morning. Then one day a concerned parents group thought this show was too violent. So the show got taken off the air.. Now a couple decades later we have an over population of coyotes.. big surprise, no one seen this one coming.
LOL!
you'll never get rid of us! muahahahahaha!
😈👍👍
🐶🐶🐕🐕
heroes: oh yes we can
Amazing, don't underestimate the adaptable coyote.
In 1976 i wrote this letter to an Editor of an conservation newspaper, in response to a pro -trapping agenda.: Dear Editor
"In your Newspaper, July 26th, you printed an article "Rancher Criticizes County on Predator Control". The ranchers are at it again. Since the Wolf and Eagle has almost been wiped out in ranching areas, the Coyote is the last predator which to blame their losses. The labor problem is probably more to blame. Domestic sheep are fragile animals, unlike their wild-counter-part. Ranching is a business. Large ranching operations turn sheep out to graze for long periods of time, without a Shepard to watch over them. Businessmen in other areas cannot blames their loses on such an easy scapegoat.
A study was done on Coyotes feeding habits and 50 percent of their diet was rodents and ranch destroying rats , mice and ground squirrels. They also eat grasshoppers and other insets. Sheep made up only 14 percent of their diet. It is true that Coyotes will attack sheep, I am not denying that fact.
But they do not attack them and cause the damage that the Ranchers claim they do. The ranchers are after pure profit with no losses.They do not realized and do not care that the coyote is part of the fragile ecology of the ranch, and they are intruding on his territory. The ranchers want the County Agriculture Commissioner to restore atrapping program for ranchers. They want funds to hire a part-time trapper to use steel leg hold traps, equivalent to having your hand slammed in a car door for 24 hours . Why not use the money to hire South American Gaucho's to watch over the lambs and sheep?
All Predators are part of this world and environment. The prejudices against Coyotes has gone on long enough. We need someone who knows
what he is talking about to help manage the sheep industry, someone who is not afraid to stand up to the Ranchers and say "NO"
You are wrong" Coyotes have a place here, too!
Sally Patterson
luv 4 animals Rescue it's all about the money. Well, you can't eat money, time to pay attention. Thank you for your research Sally 💛
Since the removal of the Wolf, the coyote has moved into a vacant territory. The coyote is much more adaptable to shifting aganist the tide of extermination. They have the ability of adapt-survival and are thriving across America because of that ability. You want the coyote gone. Reintroduced the wolf. They can reduce the numbers quickly.
At first I thought you were on the other side but I was glad to see you are thinking like me. We all share this world and we all need to live in harmony with one another. Humans are the problem plain and simple
Your STUPID!
you're point is correct; ESPECIALLY in the USA blaming dead calves on vermin is an Olympic Event. But why the multiple posting? you feel ok, dear??
"if you see a young animal torn apart it's a sorry sight" said by the man literally raising animals to be torn apart at the slaughterhouse......
My brother Stan Jr is on a ventilator
in the ICU, and as we were heading into the city to see his serious condition. Out of nowhere a big Coyote jumped onto the highway directly in front of our truck and ran in front of us for about 120 meters. As we drove behind the Coyote, it turned it's head back at is and we see it growl and snare at us. So I YELLED outloud "STAN JR GET BACK INTO YOUR BODY."! He's still alive & Stan Jr does not meet the criteria for dying of Covid-19. His Coyote spirit made
sure of that. We are Indigenous first nation's btw. Coyotes are spiritually guided. That's why they are so smart & very slick. They've been out thinking man for many centuries & dynasties. Super tricksters in the Animal kingdom. We all love you Stan Jr.
You can go home if you want.
We will understand & respect
your choice.
Half my family is also indigenous/first nations... My granddaughter is Onandoga sp? and works on the Brantford, Six Nations Reserve & my grandson is Ojibway, from the Mississaugas New Credit Reserve... You likely know of Kevin Annette and his work in exposing Canadian government complicity in acts of genocide associated with the Residential School system.. Canadian government is still complicit in acts of genocide!... Covid19 patients are being killed via wilful mistreatment in hospitals, whacked full of kidney and liver damaging Remsdesivir and mind numbing Medazalone sp? and put on ventilators at twice the recommended 'tidal volume' for patients whose lungs are inflammed and inelastic... unable to cough, or properly clear their lungs, 80 percent die, many drowning in their own juices... The Sars CoV2 virus is a patented, Gain-Of-Function, manmade viral chimera, aka a Bioweapon... And one could say much the same for the so-called mRNA based 'vaccines' , which are not only bioweapons, but far more dangerous than what Mikki Gillis astutely dubbed 'Plandemic'... For indirect confirmation of what I'm saying, by way of 'Predictive Programming', see eugenicist bankster Jasques Attali's 1981 disclosures RE: 'depopulation by vaccination'
PS: Hospitals are being paid, 'financially incentivized' , to the tune of $39k, for every patient put on a ventilator... This is BLOOD MONEY!
I love when humans complain about wild animals in their habitat. Humans are overpopulated yet we don't hunt humans. Leave nature alone or we will pay the repercussions

I am the biggest coyote and wolf fan on TH-cam, and I approve this video.
Foxes, wolves, and coyotes are found in Canada and every American state except Hawaii.
Sith Lord I am one of the biggest canine lovers, preferably wolves.
Sith Lord I love them too- if they're cooked right!
What I've learned is... coyotes are badasses and humans have to deal with it😂
It's not hard to be smarter than a human.
Best Nature documentary i've seen in a very long time. The information was very enlightening. Foxes and Coyotes are very similar in terms of their dynamic method of survival and hunting technics.
Cyotes exploded when you eradicated the wolves. It's called mesopredator release.
As was stated in the first part of the documentary.
It's their land
Why do you say 'You'? I'm fairly certain this videos creator had nothing to do with killing the wolves. I get the feeling you are a Biden supporter. I can do without you and him. Please think before you open your mouth
Rather than trying to kill coyotes, ranchers should use livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), donkeys, and/or llamas to simply keep coyotes away.
+PlainsPup Precisely!
+PlainsPup Doesn't work the Coyotes wind up killing & eating the Dogs also.? Hunting those Predators are the only way to keep their numbers in check.?
A REDTAIL There are reports and stories of ranchers using animals like llamas, donkeys and Great Pyrenees dogs and succeeding in protecting their livestock from coyotes. If hunting coyotes is the only way to keep their numbers in check, then why in this documentary does it say that their numbers have only increased? I'm not trying to wag my finger at you or start an arguement, I'm just saying..
+A REDTAIL
Alpacas are great coyote guards. They live peacefully with livestock, are super low maintenance, are low impact on the environment (don't destroy plants or damage ground), and they stand their ground against all predators.
+ThatGuy every herbivore should have a predator to keep their numbers balanced
I love coyotes they are the closest thing to a wolf now it's rare to see a wolf but I see coyotes a lot. I think they are cool animals
Keep your distance from them because they could be deadly, especially to children.
A Beverly what about to adults
That is if coyotes are half wolf. The coyotes that fatally mauled Taylor Mitchell were coywolves.
Ty but wolves kill coyotes
bees, ants and angry birds have killed far more. So far there are only 2 or 3 attacks on humans in the last 100 years and most likely these coyotes had rabies
Here in the Piedmont of NC, coyotes are everywhere. The advice of keeping the good ones works. The coyotes that live around my farm are "small furry thing" eaters: rats, mice, rabbits, foxes, etc. They are not livestock hunters. So we leave them alone. They defend their territory against other coyotes. The last thing we want is to get rid of the good coyotes and have livestock eating coyotes move in.
Thank goodness there is one person who makes sense. I laud you.
This the way to do it, been my thoughts for years.
Gerald Sobel thank you🙂
I love how the idgits in this film talked about creating miniature localized extinctions like it was a great thing. Shows exactly how not so smart people are when they stop believing they too are animals connected to this worlds life cycle and start destroying entire ecosystems & environments as they adapt the entire world instead of adapting to it
The coyote is one species we as humans could never hunt to extinction. They are just simply impossibly resilient. So you may as well enjoy the fact that we are the smarter animals and are able to use guns and bows lol
So coyotes are like humans- smart, adaptable, prefer meat but can eat whatever, prolific, designed to survive catastrophes. No wonder we have so much trouble coping.
There are different alternatives instead of killing or pushing an species to extinction. "The more you know the easier life gets for you."
“It dug up a trap, flipped it over and didn’t set it off and defecated on it” lmao! 11:43
Way to send a message coyote!
the secret to their survival is their ability to order from ACME,willey creatures indeed.
good to see an animal that has enough savy to outwit the smug and overpopulated human species.
Thank you for sharing the details of the Coyote and other animals life.
I rather like it. An animal that has thrived in the face of human's desire to eliminate them. I think coyotes are rather wonderful animals.......
Exactly!
I have been around them awhile and observed them where I live.They are are smart.I have a lot of respect and developed a love for them.I hope I never have to turn against them.At this point I fear tweekers more than the coyotes.
maybe sent by god to keep the human population under control
@@rogerd4559 - I doubt that..Look up coyote killings.Not many.Coyotes are just floating around and love affection.Trying to survive.
@@coryarnold3369 Right. Just like wolf killings. Unnecessary to even almost fear. Though humans eradicated wolves, why? Probably for the same reasons they kill the poor coyotes. Because they kill a few livestock per year.
A coyote flipped a trap and took a shit on it. I'd question myself as a trap setter.
Yep. Elmer should reconsider his entire thought process. If eradication of any species is his answer, he doesn't understand the food chain, and how it affects him personally.
For a cost of some kibble and responsible ownership, a guardian dog or two will keep the coyotes away from his livestock. Get a fucking dog Elmer!
Dude, they're just trying to survive. What is wrong with you people?
Thanks Coyote Documentaries.😊
we must learn to live with them, watch are pets, keep them on a leash while out walking , or take to a dog park where there are a number of people . electric fences around farms , Controlled kills as they do with bear, moose , deer. we need coyotes and wolves for the ecosystem to thrive. Love Lomar's idea of learning about them and how to deal with them. as the sheep ladies way. love the rescuers
Coyote is a dog-range pedatore.smaller than wolf and larger than jackle.very smart and clever.was honoured by native american.
GOD the creator seems to be on the COYOTE,s side!
Those traps are evil. They are torturous to the animals. They should be outlawed.
There are also humane ones. I would believe that they wanted to trap and release.
Oh How I Wish There Were More Coyote Documentaries?
Had a big pack of them on my friends deer lease/cattle ranch. A few trips with electronic call and a 30-30 did them in!
Any animal that can get rid of vermin. Should be praised. Believe me. I’d love to have coyotes coming here Respect any animal. Just being coyotes Cause they are coyotes.
Respect ALL Animals because everyone has the right to live here on 'Earth' not just humans.
I completely agree with that. We do not control nature, we are a part of nature and we have to learn to respect that.
@@Claire-ug8gq humans have changed nature voor thousands of years, we dont have to stop that. We need to find a balance were species can begin to evolve again.
Humans have more rights because we are dominant and we need to protect our young!
The coywolf is the first time a dangerous new animal has moved in among us. They are a hybrid with changed characteristics and abilities. Their dangerousness is situational. They killed an able bodied young woman in British Columbia because she walked too far into the wilderness to escape them. If you encounter a group of hungry coyotes in February and you can't convince them to go away and you can't escape them, you are dinner. When they live in residential areas where they can't be hunted they lose their fear of people, in fact they see people as food providers. Hunting keeps them afraid of people which is better for them and us. It's only a matter of time and a few more human deaths before we start a serious campaign to eradicate them in residential areas. Even in the forests they are creating packs and eradicating small mammals and ground nesting birds. In residential areas pet adoption is at an all time high because people are replacing their pets taken by coyotes. The coywolf problem is the wrong place for us to try to be nice. We have worked hard to create safe towns and neighborhoods and we are (unwisely) trying to rationalize that we can coexist.
Hunted these buggers many times. Everything said here is absolutely true and consistent with my experience. Shot 5 in one area alone and the population of turkey and rabbits bloomed the next year.
I saw one, one morning on the sidewalk of a major intersection in downtown Dayton Ohio waiting for the traffic light to change. Sure enough when it did it trotted across the street.
Ive watched them cross busy hwy 395 here in California..No traffic lights,sit behind a creosote and wait till they have an opening..Then cross and go hunting kangaroo rats in the dusk on the Oakhills side.Ive always held a curiosity/love/suspicion for them.
The wolves, how great it is to see them in Yellow Stone. Nature is awesome. To all of the viewers please go watch How Wolves Changed The Rivers. It is awesome how nature is so balanced and when man interferes what can happen. When I watched this video about the wolves I was deeply overwhelmed and nearly brought to tears. Please watch and pass it on and educate others. Thank you
Fran mullins: Just like a Liberal, touchy feely and ignorant of facts.
Now go watch a pack of Wolves tear into a herd of animals and kill them for sport, then leave them dead and dying.
They pretty well wiped out the Elk in Idaho (which was prime Elk country before ) where just a few Wolves were reintroduced not many years ago. Since then they have spread to Washington, Oregon and Northern Calf. already.
Nature is rarely 'in balance'. When prey/food animals increase, predators will begin to increase until prey/food becomes rare and the predators move on or starve to the point that the prey/food can recover. With few predators remaining, the prey/food takes a leap in numbers and the cycle starts again.
Wow, thoroughly enjoyed that. Love coyotes and Love Wolves. Thank you for this film!
LOVE coyotes all animals actually 💯❣
Michael Bolduc. I watched a doc earlier today where a farmer introduced a llama and a couple of donkeys to her flock of sheep to keep the coyotes away. It worked apparently.
I had a dog that I think was half coyote. The guy I got him from said he was half german shepherd, but that was a lie. The dog was freaking smart, stealthy, and quick. He could hold his own with my staffordshire terrier. He ran away one day never to be seen again. Either he went in the woods to live with his relatives or was eaten by them.
The only dog that ever truly scared me was a wolf-dog hybrid. I don't like aggressive dogs & normally meet aggression with aggression. It was behind a chain linked fence & freaking out when I walked by. I'm thinking, 1/ This dog would scare the hell outa a kid & 2/I'm entitled to the sidewalk & no four legged critter is gonna tell me different...
...I started firing a few dirt clods at the beast, not intending to hurt it, just teach it a lesson, ... It didn't back off , like I expected, quite the opposite...fearlessly snapping at the dry clay projectiles, expertly picking them out of the air & turning them to dust... all the while looking more & more desperate to get over that fence & tear me apart...
... By then, I had noticed the curved fangs and the deep folds in the snarling & snapping snout, realizing that this was a wolf- dog hybrid. Wolves are timid/shy... Dogs can be quite aggressive..This thing, had a dog's mentality, but a wolf's killing canines & lethal jaws...Stunned by the unbridled ferocity of this thing...I was the one who backed off & I'm not ashamed to say so...
Beautiful & insightful documentary! Thank you for this 😊🌸
The 🐑 looks so adorable and the 🐄 too.
Pretty ironic Biologists use traps to study Coyotes. The only way to keep them in check is to allow a trapper onto your property to keep your land clean in exchange for the pelt profit. I know my areas have benefited greatly from trapping them.
nobody wears fur anymore in the usa
sshopper shopahall no you're right, that's why we send it to the world market and other countries gladly buy it.
sshopper shopahall really believe that? Your wrong.
The solution for farm owners is simple, using Anatolian shepherd dog breeds or Central Asian shepherd dog breeds. Dogs of these breeds do not allow predators to approach farm animals. At the same time, these breed dogs have been used in farm protection for nearly twenty years in Africa. Leopards and cheetahs no longer die near the farms that are Anatolian shepherd dogs, but they do not approach farm animals either.
Guardian dogs (Great Pyrenees, from the look of the dogs in the vid I've seen) are also being used in Switzerland, where bears and wolves are making a comeback.
Very great video. You guys are very smart people , and I just enjoyed viewing this so much. I'll keep a eye out for them too. Again thank you.
Must respect any species that thrives in our midst.
A fascinating insight into this animal. Thanks.
Master's of survival no question about that.
Great video! Well done!
regards from Switzerland
Heard coyotes barking, yipping and howling from the woods far off and now I saw two of them in my yard for the first time last night at my Atlanta home. They are taking over the neighborhood.😳
I have a pet wolf and a hybrid. I believe that a good trainer, which I am not, could teach him (my wolf) anything. He is very smart, but he's afraid of ghosts. He saw a table cloth raise up when it caught a breeze and it really freaked him out. LMAO He still runs away from plastic bags that move in the wind.
the mere fact that you don't understand why a wolf/hybrid gets freaked out by anything novel to them means you shouldn't have one at all. Stop this stupid idea where you think you can own a piece of wildlife when truth is, you're only endangering wolves and humans. Sick and tired of people like you. If you truly loved animals, you wouldn't put them in such danger.
@@ZoriZM wolves are being hunted. They are safer and live longer as members of our families.
@@rong9404 Yes, they're safer when you don't even know their basic needs. You gunna fend for them when they need an extremely large amount of land to roam? When winter comes and they need to feed, can you afford to provide 40kg of carcass every single day? You don't even know wy they behave in a certain way, let alone why you shouldn't try to keep one as a pet, I hardly doubt you'd be able to handle them once they start showing their wild side.
@@ZoriZM I have had Zeus for 5 years now. He eats what the breeder recommended. High protein dog food. It's nearly 3 dollars a pound. He gets meat treats every day. Birthdays and holidays he gets about 3 pounds of meat in one meal. I spoil the hell out of him. He travels the country with me and gets released several times a month to run freely (in places I believe are safe) and he disappears for sometimes several hours. Everything I do for him his wife gets the same food , treats and run time. If he wanted to be free he would not keep coming back.
@@rong9404 "He eats what the breeder recommended. " jfc ppl. please, stop! listening to what you feed that poor creature is a bloody torture. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEIR EATING HABITS ARE. this is why dumb shits like you need to stop fucking with wild animals cause you think they're pets and think that they can be treated the exact same way as dogs, you idiot.
I've always found it funny to complain about animals killing for food when all the breeders are doing is raising them to be slaughtered.
Yeah, and if farmers and ranchers are worried about their livestock, why not get livestock guardian dogs? A couple of big Great Pyrenees or Khangal dogs, and those coyotes will look for less difficult meals.
They just want to make money thats all that they want they don't care about wild life and that's the problem. Money is money to them.
@@Pipsqwak because they wanna be macho and shoot em, instead of doing the more rational thing and getting guardian dogs. Humans are irrational creatures.
This is the amazing and informative documentary.
Beautiful documentary.
The only way is to live with nature not thinking that we are different and that we can control it.
It really surprises me that these farmers and ranchers do not have livestock guardian dogs
That’s the first thing I thought too.
Just get a donkey or mule, they kill anything that looks like a dog
This guy is good at getting into the minds of Coyotes. He has all the details on how they think. He should join the BFRO and apply his skill to trackung Squatch down
What does trackung mean?
Sorry it was a typo, was supposed to be TRACKING
Thank you for your presentation.
Raccoons: sees coyotes "ahhhhhh hell there goes the neighborhood! "
It's what many races of human say when blacks move in.
I literally was washing my hands in the kitchen & through my kitchen window I was stairing face to face with the biggest coyote I had ever seen & this I found out was no normal coyote but a coywolf. It was standing in my backyard like nothing and then hopped our six foot brick wall like nothing
Coyotes are bad, but they serve a purpose. The biggest issue with Coyotes is that they target livestock and domestic pets. But in the same token...so do Wolves and mountain lions. Farmers killed off wolves because of their tendencies to target calves and other farm animals. The only major difference between the Coyote opposed to Wolves and the mountain lion is the fact they can adapt to any environment (as the video stated). Plenty of stray cats and rats to be fed on. And quite frankly I'd much rather have coyotes around than rodents and alley cats. In Los Angeles, Coyotes would have a field day with the large number of rats running around freely.
They are all over Los Angeles, even deep in the city. The rats are partly the reason.
Would not be good to have coyotes in LA. Too many homeless people might be attacked.
What is there to figure out? Coyotes are smart, athletic and cunning. What else do u need to know to "figure out" how they thrive in any condition and location. It's just an animal doing what it does best....surviving, thriving, passing on it's genes.
