Huge Coyote Pack Chase Stalk Whitetail Human Rare View Attac

Video shows an extremely rare view of a huge pack of wild coyotes. The coyote is thought of as a solitary hunter, however this video shows a huge pack. When I was filming them, I counted at least 10 individuals, but think there were more in the tall hay. One began to chase me, but then changed its mind. This may be the largest coyote pack filmed.

The next portion of the video shows coyotes in the same area at a different time. This was after dark and I was alone. The coyotes began to howl. This scared both a whitetail deer and me. The deer ran away quickly, but I had some expensive camera equipment, so I just walked fast to get away. The coyotes were very brash and may have planned an attack. They certainly scared us and chased us away from their territory quickly. Because it was dark, all I could film were trees going by as I quickly left. Some of the coyotes were very close.

These coyotes not only formed packs as wolves do, they were also quite large for coyotes. Young ones were the size of a medium sized dog. Ones had been killed weighting around 50 pounds and some looked a lot larger than that. The next portion of the video shows a large baby coyote that still had its baby teeth. It is much larger than a pekenise dog.

The next portion shows a coyote hunting. It digs for, attacks, kills, and eats a small animal, probably a rodent.

The coyote pack was seen on a very windy night of the full moon. The full moon is associated with canine behavior such as lychanthropy humans changing into wolves, or werewolves. The related idea of shape-shifters, such as a change into a werewolf, is common in tales from all over the world, most notably amongst the American Indians, though most of them involve animal forms other than wolves.

The coyote does most of its hunting alone and at night. (http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:mWNzXr_6P9kJ:www.nhptv.org/natureworks/coyo­te.htm+%22natureworks%22+%22pack%22+%22coyote%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us)
They may also hunt as pairs, and occassionlly in packs. The packs are generally smller than 6 individuals and they hunt in packs when hunting large animals.

**Coyotes can run at speeds up to 43 mph and can jump over 13 feet. 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

Coyotes can hunt as single individuals, or as mated pairs. They may sometimes form small packs, when hunting large game. Their calls include howls, yips, yelps, growls, and barks. They can mate with both wolves and dogs.

A farmer shot the wolf in Indiana, and no believed him till he showed them the body. And it came from Wisconsin like he said in the video.

@kosh2001 Thanks for the information

[rednecks493]

hey do coyotes get to be the size of german shepards cause i saw one in my back yard and a week after that my naibor caught it in his chicken house he said it didnt have not a bit of fat on it it was all muscle

@rednecks493 *** Eastern coyotes are much larger than western coyotes. See the article in National Geographic (Aug. 2010) “New Beasts in the East,” about Coywolves that says DNA testing shows that many of Eastern Coyotes are Wolf-Coyote hybrids. They are larger than standard coyotes and can behave like wolves.

i saw a pack of 10-12 coyotes last night right in the middle of my little town

[mermaidcandy]

Thank you for all the information. I often walk around this small town at night. Last Summer, I could hear a pack of coyotes, that killed something I would presume, at a farm that's right in town. Helix Oregon. Nice to learn all about them from your information. Thank you so very much. Candy

What happened to the dead coyote? :(

[angelandkristelx]

y is the cyote dead

[kevinryan77]

I see so many familiar mannerisms and playfulness in these videos, that they remind me a lot of my dog. It's hard not to find them amusing.

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

WHO WAS IN THE WOODS PLAYING THE PIANO WHEN THIS VIDEO WAS TAKEN?

[helpmefindmyalias]

The description has a bunch of bad information in it.

Anyway, they're smart Fkr's and if I'm out and have a gun in my hand I'll shoot on sight :D

[peterhub1]

intensely beautiful, and some of the best life can offer. The music is absolutely perfect. Thanks, is the there by any chance a higher quality version?

[lpsgirl1100]

How do you get this footage

@rednecks493

many of them aren't pure coyotes. many are hybrids, be it with large dogs or rarely wolves.
