Rare view of close-up of coyote hunting, digging, catching, and eating its prey. It is quite difficult to just get a close-up view of a coyote. This video shows not only a close-up, but also shows the coyote searching for prey by scent, digging, catching, and eating it.
When I said that someone had just killed a coyote that weighted 60 lbs. (weighed sometime after it was killed), the coyote looked at me (I didn't have anything to do with killing it).
Shows the beautiful coyote pelt in full, bright sunshine. The pelt sparkles with color including a nice reddish tone.
**Coyotes can run at speeds up to 43 mph and can jump over 4 meters. It runs with its tail down. Some coyotes found in the east can weight over 100 lbs (see http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:WN3D-Pm0RMAJ:icwdm.org/wildlife/coyotes....). Comments and videos show these monster coyotes, e.g. see the discussion under, "Coyote attack," at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT6sePYyeL0. (Some may be hybrids, such as of wolf and coyote.)
The coyote (Canis latrans) is also called the prairie wolf. It is a mammal belonging to the order carnivora and related to the domestic dog. They range from Panama through Canada. The name coyote came from Mexican Spanish. The Latin name means barking dog. Nineteen subspecies exist. Its fur is grayish-brown to yellowish-brown and can be black or white. It has a long bushy tail. The coyote is very vocal with a number of sounds including barks, yips, whines, growls, and howls.
Coyotes rarely attack humans (but the frequency is much less than attacks by domestic dogs) and the coyotes are often provoked. A published paper on the subject given on a government site can be found at: http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/awm/docs/coyoteattacks.pdf

I agree 100 stop building in their habitat, coyotes, wolves and foxes wouldn't be in our backyards if we (not literally you,being on you tube I had to say that)hadn't started invading their space.These animals aren't looking for us they're looking for food in their natural habitat we build in places they lived in way before us but we call them bad. When I see one of them wit a shotgun looking for humans to kill then I'll call them bad until I see that it's us who need adjusting.

I adore coyotes.. and I've had coyotes wander through my yard while my dogs were out, and they don't do a thing to them. Coyotes usually only watch my dogs and I. All of the coyotes I've seen, the moment some human comes into it's view, it gets away as fast as it can. That's the good side of hunting coyote. You know, a fox killed all of my chickens once. And I never see anyone saying how evil foxes are. Coyotes and wolves always seem to be evil things that must be killed.
