1. Looks like she got a good nip though.

Yikes. Prairie Wolves!

I saw one cross the street and stare me down as I stopped my car and gawked at it last week. 9 am, middle of Seattle, 16th Ave. NE and NE 80th. St.

2. Rabid? We have coyotes out where I live but I only see them at night.

3. she was lucky it was only 1

usually they hunt in small packs

When I was 12 and home alone after school, 3 were stalking one of our horses (I heard the commotion). I ended up killing one with my .22 before they were able to take my horse down.

5. I agree

6. I've never seen more than 2 in the city

they usually hunt working down front yards.

one flushes prey out from along the house or planting beds, the other's in the street waiting.

pretty effective at getting rats and bunnies. and cats.

the one is the video was probably young.

4. One used to stalk me

while walking my dog in the hills in the evening. He rarely got close enough to bother me, and a couple rocks hucked his way tended to set him straight. To be fair, they were his hills.

7. They will hang up on even nig dogs.

One goes out and dances around and gets the dog to chase it. Then it runs back toward the pack and they all gang up on the dog.

They will also grab small dogs and cats. If you live in coyote country you need to really watch your pets.
