This video should be titled "Coyote does absolutely not a damn thing. Watches lady go by and flinches at cars. The end."

Holy cow this lady lives at the end of my street! The dog is a miniature Japanese Akita. who has got to be about 15 years old now. His name is Ito. I saw him today so he survived this encounter, but i'm going to start taking a stick when I take my 17 month old son for walks! Thanks for sharing.

Small dogs should never be let out in the back yard unattended, even if the yard is fenced. That won't stop a coyote.

So would you step in and help stop it if it did attack or would you just stand there and film it?

Stay calm. Never run. Then release the Roadrunner and it will take care of the coyote. Avoid giving the coyote any packages from ACME Corp.

Seriously? If the photographer thought the coyote was about to attack, why did he just keep filming? I once saw a coyote trotting across my pasture. He ran up to a neighbor's dog, and they rubbed noses. Then he trotted off into the woods.

More then likely people are feeding him once in awhile. That's why he's not afraid like a normal Coyote

That coyote is very well fed. Nothing skinny about it.

I have a pack of Coyotes across the road and out in the woods. I hear their pups yapping and the howling often. But never have the tried to harm my dogs or myself. But I have been threatened by a pack of violent Raccoons. I punted one like a football as it charged me out near my trash can. Raccoons don't play , I'm fairly certain they had homicidal intentions . They came in masks !

Something is off when a coyote is out in open daylight. Very comfortable around humans??

I grew up in the country and I have heard coyotes howling many times at night, and around dusk but only one time did I ever see a pack of them, they stayed out of sight the best they could. they walked along a fence line and I was on the road. they was not aggressive at all but I never trusted them because they were in a pack. seldom ever will they bother a human unless they have rabbid

I live in the country and sit outside in the pasture at night and listen to them yip. They are 3 packs on 3 side of my place they have never bothered me- but its like surround sound. I love to listen to them. Throw in some owls and bulls in the back ground. Music to my ears

Ahaha I love how when he zooms in on the lady's face walking her dog, she shakes her head at the coyote as if she's thinking or saying "no, I don't think so. Not today...not today."😂

That's the fattest coyote I've ever seen and I've seen a few!

Seemed more curious than aggressive

By the way, many Coyotes/Coywolves have mange. It doesn't mean the animal is sick and perfectly healthy Coyotes roam and hunt during the day. It does NOT mean it they have rabies. If this particular coyote had rabies, it would have attacked without much hesitation instead of curiously following.

That coyote had been eating good

Fear not the coyotes...be more aware of the two-legged beasts that reside in this city.

That's the tamest Coyote I've ever seen.

I'm wondering of someone has been feeding this coyote. If it associates people with free food, it would be logical that it would approach people like that. Adults don't have much to worry about from a single coyote, but a small kid might be in danger.

some idiot could have been feeding it. It may be looking for a handout.

99% sure her dog is a Shiba Inu, which were bred for hunting boar and smaller game.. they may not look it but they're tough sobs. As an owner of two I can tell you that coyote would have had one hell of a fight. There was one in the news a while back who chased off a bear that was after it's owner.

I live in the states and our coyotes aren't that bold nor are they that well feed. someone must be feeding that coyote for it don't seem shy like they normally behave.

My Airedale chased one out of the yard as it tried to attack my mini poodle. It actually jumped over my fence. Thank God for the big terrior breeds. Pit Bulls and Airedales.

Jesus, I saw him rigging the ACME rocket sled behind that tree! Run humans, run!!

Don Robertson is almost right. A young musician of 19 years of age named Taylor Mitchell was attacked while hiking alone and killed by 2 coyotes in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia. It happened in of October of 2009. She was airlifted to Halifax where she died of her wounds. She was a full grown young woman and, unable to defend herself successfully, she lost her life. Imagine the risk that a coyote is to a small child. They do not belong in an urban setting.

The doofus photographer should have alerted the lady to the Coyote's presence instead of just hanging back.

I saw a video on coyote behaviour today. It said that they're hard-wired to consider dogs, especially those of similar size, as competitors to their territory so they have a lot of animosity toward them. They drive off or kill foxes and intruding coyotes when they encounter them just like wolves do to coyotes.

That is a rather husky looking coyote. I wonder if it is a coy-dog, which seems to be generally bolder and braver than pure coyotes.

I have raised coyotes; this one was not after either lady or dog; just was curious

great view of the grass and the trees

That dog is not too big for a Coyote to take. I live on Cape Cod and a white Alaskan dog was taken by Coyotes. You never know when the rest of the pack is lurking.

Looks like an extremely tame and well fed coyote that is curious about a dog.

People CANNOT STARE DOWN A COYOTE & SCARE IT AWAY !!! MAKE NOISE, JUMP AROUND, WAVE YOUR ARMS !!!! WHOOP & HOLLER !! Thank you Bruce for showing this !! Now going to Part 2.

My jack russell was attacked by a coyote a few months ago - yelling, having a stick, and other people around didn't really help; it's almost like the coyote was on a mission and nothing else mattered. Luckily, she was fine and escaped with a very minor scratch on her belly - guess the natural hunting instincts and high energy kicked in and she went for the coyote's neck and legs while retreating each time. The coyote finally ran away. ...to add drama to the story - it did come back like 3 minutes later with 2 or 3 more coyotes (which I've heard it's unusual for them to be in a pack); but we were safe inside the car. My dog was shaking and I could tell by her ears and tail that she was pretty afraid, she also had some blood on her; but after washing her off and taking her to the vet it turned out to probably be from the coyote. Maybe I'm crazy; but I did feel a bit bad for the coyote (but was also happy about my dog not becoming dinner).

Old lady, the coyote's after you. Old lady, if he catches you you're through.

That coyote looks well fed.

Thank goodness u stopped and helepd the lady

As soon as he stepped through the fence, the squirrel alarm went out.

With all of this new development, and loss of forestry here in Burnaby over the last few years, I haven't seen one wandering the streets. Last time I saw one was 2 years ago walking directly up the middle of my street mid day, and a week later I saw him again a couple of km's away eating trash just 20 feet away from people waiting for the bus at Gilmore Station. Great footage. Thanks for sharing

What happened after the "oh no" at the end??!!!?????!!!!!??

Real threat or not, waiting on a possible attack from an animal, before any action is taken is bizarre.

It wanted the dog, not the lady.

Watching this guy hold a camera is making me dizzy.

You should always haze coyotes when you see them in neighborhoods. It saves both coyote and house pet lives.

Never feed wild animals as they lose their fear of people and can attack out of instinct. They are opportunists, very smart and will wait until they can take their game without being detected.

So many spineless people are scared to death of wild animals. Gary's wife here : as a 44 year old woman in a large park at the foot of Pikes Peak walking (without a leash) my 80 pound Border Collie, a Coyote appeared and my dog put to the chase. I was calling his name and he just kept chasing. Then two other Coyotes came up from behind my dog and started chasing him. This is a common practice of wild coyotes to take down a dog. They work as a team. Well, 44 year old MAMA started chasing them all on foot. I had no fear and no weapon but I am really good and using my fist and can aim for a dogs nose if necessary. My dog finally stopped chasing Coyote number one and turned around to face off with the two following him. He saw me coming and somehow the two coyotes became aware that I was after them.....and they ran away. Yes, there were tree limbs and sticks around and if I needed one I would use one. We have to share this planet with the animals and stop thinking that we are justified in extinguishing life just because it scares us or inconveniences us. The number one group of people I TOTALLY DISRESPECT AND DON'T CARE IF THE WILD ANIMALS RIP THEM APART are the ones that move from the city into the mountains and plains and just because they have high paying jobs and lots of money, they believe that they can move into the natural habitat of animals and have the animals destroyed. We have a large acreage and lots of coyotes, antelope and such cross our land. Whatever.....they are beautiful creatures created by my beautiful Holy Heavenly Father and I thank him for this beautiful earth he created.

In for the attack! Get real, he was just curious

The coyote isn't "stalking," it's being a coyote.

Coyote only present a threat in numbers, on their own they'll typically bolt unless defending their young.

This coyote only "stalks ladies and kids." The dude posting this is awesome! He is able to read coyotes' minds! Makes me wonder what HE'S doing hanging out in the park with a camera.

As many others have pointed out, you were in no danger at any point during that interaction. Curiosity does not equal aggression.

"Coyote disappeared after media pick up the story." Coyotes read the papers and watch the news?

It may have not been aggression toward the dog. My dog used to play with the local coyotes. That does not appear to be stalking behavior. Stalking is keeping low to the ground and creeping. That seems more friendliness.

My cat was out for 12 years and for some reason the pack of coyotes where I lived never bothered her. Maybe she was just too fast and climbed the trees. I think she had some kind of connection with them. It was other cats that attacked her . I kept her inside her last 3 yrs. due to watching a cat try to kill her. I kicked him right off of her and that was the end of her outdoor fun. She lived 16 yrs.

He isn't stalking . He is curious

Many coyotes DO live on their own for periods of time but, usually not until they've reached maturity. At that time, they either leave on their own in search of a mate and their own territory or are forced out of the pack. Coyotes mate for life and raise their pups together. They usually stay as a family unit until their young are around 2 years old. By then, the pack has the mated pair (parents), yearlings and young pups. At that point, the pack can grow to be as many as 12-14 coyotes. I live in a large farming town in CT, where we are surrounded by a large number of packs. We don't have many of the small Western coyotes anymore. Instead, we have "Coywolves" due to the Eastern coyotes interbreeding with Canadian Gray wolves. They are larger and commonly inherit the same pack mentality as their wolf ancestors. Although, my neighbors and I will often see only 1 or 2 passing through during the day, they are usually scouting for food sources and will hunt in a larger group after dusk.

Coyotes don't attack humans. THEY LIVE SIDE BY SIDE WITH US AND THERE ARE ONLY A FEW RECORDED ATTACKS.

I don’t think this is a coyote. It looks more like a coywolf. Check out other videos, especially the one by National Geographic on the increase of coywolves, a cross between a wolf and coyote.

The coyote should be caught and released somewhere away from a city...not automatically put down

I worked nights and used to come home in the early morning hours anywhere between 1am to 4am. My mobile home park has been here about 50 years and is right next to the Indian reservation here in E. Scottsdale, AZ Coming home from work a few years ago I saw a pack of coyotes in the park: 2 coyotes and a dog the exact same size. A few weeks later they did a kill either right in back of my place or On My Roof at 2am! It was a hell of a commotion! I saw therm again about a year later but without the dog. It seemed to me the coyotes had gotten a lot larger. So I started doing more research than I had already done. COYWOLVES (coyote and wolf bred in the wild) are real and populations may be growing so be AWARE and Be Prepared and be Careful out there. A quick note to Monkey Vibes: I had never seen or heard of a racoon in AZ. One night as I entered the back door of my house after work, I heard a strange growl. I turned around and there was a racoon growling at me up on it's hind legs. I chewed him out and said "Don't you growl at me!"! He got down off his hind legs and waddled toward the very back of the yard that was a dry creek bed. It flows during heavy rains. Well all of a sudden there was another 'coon' following it, and then another and another. Then there was a little one and they kept coming till I had seen about 15 or 20 of them. Darndest thing I ever saw. Turns out my dumb neighbor had been feeding them. There is a VERY Dangerous Parasite in their Feces. It will kill an old person and turn your kids into vegetables. I don't imagine it's very good for middle aged people either.

That looks like a Shiba with the lady. Not an easy meal for that coyote, that's for sure.

Humane officer view. I live with them in and around my property and yard. They never bother my animals. they do act different if there is a dog in heat. they do look at small animals as prey. There are some cases where they breed with wolves and even fox. Its fur looks to be molting on body but tail could be mange or from a snare trap. there have been rare occasions where one has attempted to play with another animal, but it should be avoided as wild animals are very unpredictable. And every animal and plant has a part in our eco system.

Burnaby eh...wow. Luckily they haven't made it to the Island....but all it would take is a couple and they'd be off. .204 Ruger does a great job on these.

i didnt see the lady waving the stick

That's what happens when clean out the habitat where the Coyote lives.

Really....could warn the lady..he dont need to be put down....need to be relocated....he's just hungry

that's a Eastern CoyWolf a true coyote would never act like this in the open.

Vancouver's hockey hooligans are more dangerous than the coyotes... they're still creeping around Vancouver too.

"..This coyote should be put down" - How about just tranquillised, checked over and moved far away from the area? Why is killing absolutely everything in sight the first thing that comes to mind for some people?

where did you see this.

Why didn't you do anything about it ??

When I check my fence that goes around my property I always have my 12ga and my 2 dogs just because the coyotes numbers have jump up alot so there more competition between them. Which makes them take more risks then they normally would take.

Is it just me, or do these videos always seem to end just before their climax?

i was waiting for him to pull out his sign that says "byebye" then he falls off a cliff til he goes POOF

when does it go in for attack ?

The coyote was just admiring the dog's tail fur, wishing it had some like that!

Coyotes primarily hunt in pairs. His mate (if he has one) is not far off. Coyotes alone will take large dogs, in pairs they will take deer. 3 or more will take elk. That is highly impressive for an aminal that tops the scales around 55lbs. This dog would most certainly not "take him down" unless the coyote was very badly injured. This coyote is healthy enough to take down large hunting dogs weighing twice as much as he does.

Where was the video taken?

Great time to stop filming🤪

Great film I've onlh seen the aftermath of coyote work. Do you think people know it is a coyote and not a big dog?

Coyote: **acting cute in the grass** Coyote: **wait, I smell people** Coyote: **Wonder what they smell like**

It's a coyote people...not a man eater! We have many of them where I live and they are not interested in people, maybe pets, but not people. No real need to fear them and attacks on people by coyotes are really rare. I was in Arizona a week ago walking at the base of a mountain trail when two coyotes appeared from a dry gulch that ran adjacent to the trail. They actually passed within a few feet of me without so much as a glance or acknowledgement of my presence...and by the way...they were beautiful.

I am planning on moving to Los Angeles soon. Are there any suggestions on non harmful coyote protection for my garden where I hope to have a little agility course? Any advice would be much appreciated.

No ATTACK! it was just curious!

Did anyone else notice the enclosure with the 6ft high fence the coyote is in? He's probably domesticated more or less and he's bored or lonely or both.

Camera?

And this is what happens with over development of forest and wilderness. We destroy their homes and they invade ours😞

That's no coyote its a coydog. Or more like a feral dog.. super smart, has no fear of people.

I see you were alot of help... NOT!

How do you figure that coyote is going to get around that big fence?

Anyone heard the story joe rod an tells about the guy coming home to his pit bull with loads of small cuts? After taking him to the vets he came back and decided to follow the spots of blood,he found THIRTEEN dead coyotes

a coyote can easily kill a dog thats the same size as it. that dog would have easily been taken by the coyote

Obviously there's a fence between the lady/w dog & coyote, he's not even in an attack posture. The coyote is simply curious.

Wild life has to eat, too. Humankind has taken so much of their hunting areas that now they are hunting pets. Hopefully, wild life officers will get it back to the wild.

When I was younger about 13 my little brother was walking outside looking for Easter eggs ( we were on a farm completely surrounded by Meadows) eventually my uncle seen the a really scrawny coyote run from afar and yell for the gun. I currently was looking for eggs too but I seen them shoot at the animal and missed on purpose.

Why would you stop filming??????

Attack??.the poor thing looked like it wanted to go home with them..I think u got too excited because I see no sign of any "attack"

All great advice. One thing to add, people believe coyotes are only out at specified times of day, usually dark but as seen by your video (and my knowledge from the animal shelter I volunteered for and the animal control officers) that's a myth. Coyotes are out at all times of day. We have a poster at the shelter with pics of coyotes taken in the daylight. Sorry just saw this,otherwise would have said something years ago. Also don't leave your pets, esp small unattended in back yard even if you live in a gated community. They won't check in at gate and will jump it. Speaking from experience.

when did you stop filming?
