I'm glad it was a couple of neighbor guys and a grown dog that encountered this coyote and not some three or four year old toddler playing out in their yard.

Could that be one of those Wolf/Coyote hybrids? That guy is big.

That was a hefty one!!! He doesn't miss many meals...

Koji is such a good boy

If you look at that 'coyote' both his muzzle and build in general are pretty heavy. Granted he is 'puffed up' to look bigger than he is, I'm guessing 60ish lbs which is freakin huge for a coyote. That muzzle especially has me thinking it's a coydog. The seeming lack of fear of humans backs that up as well.

I live in Los Angeles and saw one just nonchalant walking around near the 99 cent store mid-day. Crazy. They were here first. Your dog is beautiful. Stay safe!

Might be a wolf coyote hybrid? looks pretty damn big

That coyote is huge! Down south (where I live in the Florida panhandle) we also have lots of coyotes, but they are a lot smaller.

Coyotes are much scrappier than people think.

that's a wolf hybrid for sure - in great condition, not as mangy as many

Lone wolf could be mixed, but definitely bigger than a coyote

That's a HUGE "Coywolf" hybrid! Looks more like a wolf than a coyote! But I'm certain that the Akita could've taken it on. An American Akita would, for sure!

Probably a Coywolf , I’ve never seen a Coyote with legs that thick or girth like that. There a lot of Coyotes in my area eating up the plethora of rabbits here, they usually very lanky, some may have longer legs like this one but not this thicker bone structure

That's not a purebred coyote. Looks like maybe husky or malamute in it

Good boy Koji, for just sitting and watching. I recently came across the story of that dog, I think Casper, that protected his herd of sheep against 11 Coyotes and killing a couple of them. The wounds on that dog, oh my!

Americans be like: "Hey, that's a unique Coyote!!!... Bring the rifle".

That ole boy is tired and looking for a place to spend his last days.

Hes huge holyy

Had one about that size, maybe a little bigger approach my Cane Corso while we were walking at night and it tried to assert its dominance. 30 seconds later it limped away on 3 legs.

If that thing was any bigger, I'd throw a saddle on it.

Yous guys Canadian eh

I live in Canada, in one of the middle Provinces, and within the last 8 days, in the same residential area, a 4 yr old boy and an 8 year old were attacked by a Coyote. Both had injuries, but were not killed. I hope they shoot that Coyote, as he will try again for another young kid. I grew up here all my life, and have never seen a Coyote til 4 months ago, and I saw 2 Coyotes just standing outside by the golf course. I was in my car, and they just looked at me slowly drive by. I doubt they would attack an adult, but I have a heavy metal bar up my sleeve, if I go for a late night walk of jog, just in case some thug pulls a knife on me, or maybe even a Coyote attacks me, but so far I've not at all been approached by one. They sure are getting braver coming into the City now, and their a big danger to small kids.

That's a wolf

That’s no coyote

Why is that not a dead coyote

Coyote's that wander into human settlements need to be killed. They are dangerous predators and denying that is going to lead to some unfortunate deaths.

Ruger 10 22 would easily take down that coyote.

I’ve not seen coyotes that big …. Are they hybrids of some sort?
