Coyote Attacks

This is Darwinism.
Coyotes and bike lanes must be checked in the big city.
I saw one the other day. Middle of the day on the bike lane towards downtown Toronto. Completely uncovered & unbothered. Dangerous but such a gorgeous animal tho. They need to relocate them.
The coyowolf has adapted to Toronto life, and are perpetually hungry. They would eat anything including a dead crow, stray and domestic cats, puppies and small dog, raccoon road kill etc. People are still feeding them.
They would eat a toddler if they could get away with it which will happen sooner or latter

I have lots of coyotes at home in Phoenix. Our German shepherd (Lacy) liked to think she could play with them. She would follow them up a nearby mountain trail we walked. My home is reachable from the mountain area many are in. They often are heard yowling late at night, maybe during the mating season.
We often had Lacy on about a 20-foot strong leash outside to run around on. One night, she broke free of the leash and darted up the road, maybe 4 blocks, where a bunch of coyotes made lots of noise. I was worried about her, so I got in the car and drove uphill, where I knew the coyotes were behind some homes in more wilderness areas. I called her, and looked all over without going into backyards. I was about to leave not finding her and suddenly she darted towards me. I quickly opened the back door to car and she leaped in and sat down smiling
She had never been in my car before.
No person has been in the back seat, either. Back home, she politely jumped out of the car and nicely stood by me as I reconnected her to the leash. We have had many reports of attacks on small dogs. They also can leap a six-foot fence as a neighbor saw them do one night.
To keep coyotes out of my property, I got two solar flashing red light boxes. Farmers use them to keep coyotes away from chicken pens, etc., since they somehow seem like the eyes of a predator to them. I never figured out why it works, but I had one in front and one in back, and no more coyotes came close as they had before.
However, it didn't stop a herd of javelina's to run though my yard
When I first moved here, I had no idea what javelinas were. One day I saw a pig working up the street in front of my home. I approached and walked up the hill a bit with it. It just ignored me but walked by my side.
I posted about this on our neighborhood site. Someone suggested that I might have mistaken it for a javelina, although they are not so friendly. I looked up what they were and no this "pig" was not that big ugly looking thing. It looked and ooked sp? like a pig. Although I had never been on a farm other than as a kid, my neighbor in MN also had a farm I went to when I thought chocolate milk came from a brown cow.
Back to the pig. A few days later, someone posted, "Oh, that is just Harold. He was just out looking for her mate, Suzy. They sometimes get out of their pen. " So we had the neighborhood looking for the last pigs. One spotted it a few blocks away, and the owner rounded them up. I was right. It was a pig, not a javelina, and a few years later, the pack ran through my yard.

Awesome review Dave. LOLI have lots of coyotes at home in Phoenix. Our German shepherd (Lacy) liked to think she could play with them. She would follow them up a nearby mountain trail we walked.
