Saw a wild Coyote while walking my dog tonight

[jaded]

So I live in downtown Vancouver BC...the English Bay neighbourhood. It's a pretty urban city but with an amazing natural environment. Most nights I walk my dog along the seawall and for the second time this week we come within a few feet of a wild Coyote. This thing has absolutely no fear of people or my crazy pitbull who desperately wants at it. It's amazing what you see in this city. Anyways I start looking for videos of Coyotes and found this one in Northern BC. It shows you how brazen these things can be.

That's cool

[-jose-]

you're very lucky it wasn't hungry and it didn't attack you and your dog

I studied coyotes in high school, here's a tip that could save your life: if you run into one again it's very easy to determine if the coyote is hungry, all you have to do is look at it's front paws, usually when they're hungry they're holding a fork and a knife, pick up your dog and run but if the coyote is wearing a bib forget your dog there's no time save yourself

here's a rare photo of a hungry coyote ready to attack



be safe out there

where i live (southern cali) there is a lot of canyons and we also have coyotes. I've came across a few and they usually will just run away.

Pretty cool! Almost like he could beg for food and/or take a bite out of you at the same time.

idk where u guys live but coyotes are usually smaller than an average size dog. when u encouter one or two they usually will want no part of u and will get away from u as far as possible. now if we're talking about wolves then thats a diffeent story, but coyotes? LOL

Coyotes are mostly scavengers and rarely attack humans. They do, however, attack small animals like chickens etc and are considered as pests in some counties. Where i live you get $75 a hide from the county if you turn a dead one in.

Never seen one in my life seen Wolves though whilst driving through some terrain abroad and them mofos look menacing

I've spotted a coyote a few times (2 to 3) in my neighborhood, typically closer to night time.
