Coyote stalks and starts going in for attack on elderly lady and dog

Coyote stalks elderly lady and small dog in city. Caught on tape. Had to stop filming because I thought the coyote was going to attack the lady but she started yelling and waving the stick. Coyote backed off. Location Burnaby B.C. Canada.
I tried to scare off this coyote for 3 weeks (before this video) and called the conservation officer but the coyote kept coming around stalking and growling at kids. Conservation officer told me he could not do anything unless the coyote bites someone. So I captured this footage to prove just how aggressive this coyote was. I did not want to wait until the coyote attack a child. Coyote disappeared after media pick up the story.
Keeping Safe Around Coyotes
If you live in an area that has a coyote population, these items can help you stay safe:
Personal alarm or whistle -- deters the animal and can get help for you if necessary.
Carrying a cell phone for emergencies is also helpful.
Carry a flashlight and an umbrella, both are known to deter coyotes from approaching you (open and close the umbrella and shine the light at them)
Avoid letting your pet off leash to roam freely while you walk. Keep your pet leashed.
Avoid walking during heightened coyote activity times, dusk and dawn.
If you are approached, stretch out your arms and legs to make yourself appear large and make noise. Stay calm. Never run.

Exactly Sherri! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@inuk604]

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.

[@Europa1749]

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

[@phineuspeemcgillicutteesam8959]

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

[@thisismagacountry1318]

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.

[@gorillacookies3451]

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 !

[@letitiavaughan947]

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.

[@kathystokes827]

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

[@suzannedoiron7578]

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

[@kendav38]

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

[@marymorningstar6832]

Seemed more curious than aggressive

[@buddywest7968]

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

[@serenityblu1765]

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

[@lillieannensorensen6512]

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

[@c.s.440]

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."😂

[@garymcneill9236]

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.

[@DorkofCork]

She was killed by coywolves, a hybrid of an eastern wolf and coyote. I see western coyotes all the time in my back property. I have never been fearful of them but I do not feed them or attract them to me. Sometimes they move in packs up to 5-6 going up and down the road during the night. We leave them alone and they mostly leave us alone, however they will leap fences to get at small dogs.

[@wolfywolf4151]

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.

[@83Mike17]

I have a Shiba Inu also. She has teeth like a piranha and is very strong for her size, would put up a good fight. The Shibas face looks like a fox or coyote, so I thinks the coyote just wants to make a some sexy time 😉😍.

[@ringtail6670]

"..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?

[@catherinemerrill5511]

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

[@PrimateProductions]

Well if you had actually watched the video for more than a few seconds you would have seen that the woman was very well aware of the coyote and the man did stop filming in order to go to her aid.

[@dananovak8610]

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.

[@spinozareader]

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

[@TropicalLatitude]

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

[@robertanderson5587]

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

[@richardfuller1067]

+Robert Anderson It definitely had mange, but you may be correct about some idiot feeding the coyote. People think they are doing something good when feeding wild animals, when in fact that is the last thing they should do. When a wild animal associates people with food the end result is NEVER good. Many of the wildlife conflicts I am called to solve start off because of some uneducated idiot feeds the animal. Many times the only action I can take to protect the public is to put the animal down (breaks my heart most of the time).

[@richardfuller1067]

Nightshade C. Blackheart Do you not see the humor calling yourself a wolf, and me a rat. Seems to go with the opposite of the rest of your rants. Wolves were extinct in the lower 48 until we brought them back, and no matter what we try we cannot eradicate the rat. So using your context you are only alive because humans are protecting you, as I survive no matter what humans do. Have a nice life:)

[@nightshadec.blackheart508]

Richard Fuller you have no honor hence the name rat. wolves did not go extinct. they went endangered. people do not hunt rats for their fur because they do not have the beauty a wolf does. rats have such large numbers because they breed very fast and have many children they mate with thier brothers and sisters and their siblings' children and even their own parents. wolves mate for life because they ave honor and order. so, vermin, you have been dismissed. go back to the sewers.

[@christiebowman5952]

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

[@katnip6289]

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.

[@chrissmith9151]

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.

[@gmsummersable]

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

[@garywilson818]

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.

[@Bushkill_Blades]

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

[@DaleHitchcox]

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.

[@yukloop]

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

[@mikeymike1994]

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

[@marcia153]

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.

[@daviddigital6887]

That coyote had been eating good

[@czygyny]

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.

[@ESUNintel]

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).

[@CFITOMAHAWK2]

Carlos Peralta Carlos,,Carry a strong pellet gun when coyotes are nearby..dont be a victim..

[@shootr1303]

+CFITOMAHAWK2 Carry an actual gun. A pellet gun is likely just going to make the coyote mad. They aren't easily driven away by such things.

[@CFITOMAHAWK2]

Even if you shoot at them with a strong one? I havent shot a Coyo yet but Cats and dogs getting too close, yes..You mean..Maybe I should think a Coyote is like a mad pitbull..needs more than a pellet to stop it..

[@shootr1303]

There's no reason to feel sorry for a coyote. They are thriving beyond belief. Feel sorry for bobcats if you want to feel sorry for something. They are threatened. All these city people that think they know wildlife mostly don't have a clue. Check out my channel and see what I spend my time doing. I spent countless hours getting the videos I have posted there for the most part. There are a couple that aren't related to wildlife. But see if you can find any wildlife videos on the channels of the coyote lovers. They have no clue what goes on in the real world. They really don't. Do I look like I hate animals? Look at my videos before you answer. Then see how many others in this thread spend ANY time with wildlife. I love being out there. I show things in a positive light that many people hate (like beaver, copperheads, raccoons, etc.). These are just my videos that I have posted. I have lots more not to mention my photos. What are these people doing to help animals? Whining about a poor little coyote threatening an old woman. Talk about callous humans. Maybe someone will return the favor someday and ignore them when they are threatened. That is something I will never understand or accept.

[@richardfuller1067]

+lee cal I haze them, by staring them down and stalking them like a predator when they den under someone's deck etc... I dig at the den site getting as much of my scent in the area as possible, than turn on a caller with pups in distress. I wait for mom and dad to come running, than chase and stalk them for about 10-15 min. So far 100% success rate with only one service call. I am also armed at the time, and know how to read wild animals. I would not suggest this technique to anyone who does not have experience with wild predators. Never try this with raccoons:) they will attack.....

[@robertanderson5587]

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.

[@shootr1303]

Robert Anderson You got that right. I was nearly attacked by a tourist fed bear. He thought I was supposed to provide him with food. I didn't have any, I was a long way from any other people, and I was unarmed. The bear got within 10 feet of me after following me for 150 yards. He knew when he could corner me on that trail. I turned around before I got to that point. But that bear was aggressive because of being fed by humans. BTW bears are exploding in numbers also. Our brilliant government decided we needed more predators without realizing how much food was available for them to eat. Once that food is gone what do all those hungry bears eat? Picnic baskets?

[@julietteSoul]

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.

[@dennisolivier3720]

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

[@mcbst2]

Very interesting video and it's very interesting that you've actually has some experience with coyotes. I've been out in the desert before sleeping and have had Coyotes just walk very near my sleeping bag. this was in Henderson Nevada area a lot of coyotes being pushed, hungry, could hear small pups howling really kind of got to me they were hungry as what they were, and kids are going out there and shooting them. When I was a kid I once picked up a dog on the side of the road in Oregon and actually he looked like a coyote. I took him up to my dad's ranch and he's says well just leave him alone and we'll see what he does. Next day he was gone. This wild dingo dog or coyote never was aggressive with me he just got in the car and took him up to the ranch and let him go on the ranch, next day and he was gone after my dad gave him some fresh beef meat. Then I was throwing some arrows with a hunting friend of mine and he shows me a picture of how he shot a coyote in the eye with a 30 ought 6. I never threw arrows with this guy again. I believe in hunting for game to eat and I think that's god-given. But I do not believe in hunting coyotes and just shooting them for fun and sport. when I was in Reno actually met a guy and older guy who had a baby fox and then he was holding it in his arms and he was petting him. And that I see also how many people even shoot foxes for sport. Why would any human being kill an animal other than to live by it.?

[@marianneburke4419]

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.

[@andrewdavis9079]

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

[@joeyyannuzzi1211]

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.

[@donbaxley5530]

Anyone who knows anything about coyotes knows you can not get within 1/4 mile of a wild one. All this coyote was doing was hanging out in a neighborhood looking for handouts. At on point it waits by the fence when the one lady went into her apartment. You can see it is old and not agile.

[@IntrebuloN]

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.

[@barbiescott5611]

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.

[@branthansil]

[@salvationbordercountry3800]

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.

[@dananovak8610]

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.

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.

[@eruston]

coyotes are, famously smart. My folks have them near where they live and they have heard stories that the coyotes will 'befriend' domestic dogs.. then lead them to the woods or some remote area where a pack of coyotes will ambush, kill, and eat the domestic dog.

I saw a coyotee kill a white fluffy cat in Los Angeles, near Griffith Park. He dragged it across the street and sat down to eat it in someone's yard. So, I wrote a note about little fluffy being a late night meal for a coyotee, and for neighbors to please make sure their pets are indoors at night. I didn't want the cat's owner to keep thinking fluffy was coming home. When I was a kid, our cat disappeared for three weeks and he came home right before we were moving away within days.... but not fluffy.

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.

[@sprintfan1]

+Sgarbaker You're pretty simple, huh?

[@cherylwallacewayaunega]

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.

That coyote mange. An awful disease. The humane thing to do would be to put it down.

[@cherylwallacewayaunega]

Shootr Humans are suppose to be the more intelligent, but after listening to your unintelligent rant I have to admit that in your case the animals have you beat on the IQ test. We infringed on their hunting areas, so can't you arrive at a way to divert them from surrounding your house? You make it sound like an old cowboy movie. There are many devices to keep them away from your property, but instead of researching this you prefer to rant about the coyote problem and make yourself to be the poor defenseless victim. Poor baby. :-(

cheryl wallace Hunting is far more humane than buying your meat from the store. For one thing many of those animals lived terrible lives on factory farms. Also, hunters do more for conservation and species preservation than any treehugger or greenpeace terrorists ever will.

[@cherylwallacewayaunega]

HeartlandRanchTV So you do not shop at the grocery store for your meat??? Let me speak to the woman of the house because I am sure I would get a different answer. Hunting is only for those who can not go to a store and buy their meat, so if they eat meat then this is understandable. Who ever told you hunters do more for conservation and the preservation of species was not telling you the truth.

[@ferrallands2596]

+HeartlandRanchTV Species preservation? Only the ones that you hunters "LIKE" Which does NOT include green peacemakers.

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

I feel sad for coyotes. We encroach into their territories and then label them a menace. I suggest people who are walking with small pets or small children carry something with them to scare them off with if they live in overlapping territories, be that a stick or a spray of some kind. Just like you might do hiking in the woods. This seems more reasonable than just eradicating them. Most coyotes easily scare off. I would feel more nervous seeing a large dog off a leash.

[@nutrinutbob]

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

I live in Michigan and raise poultry. We had a real problem with coyotes for a long time until the DNR brought in 200 Timberwolves into our little township to knock their numbers down. It worked great, the bunnies were in abundance again after not seeing any for years...no kidding. But now just a couple years later and they are back, and I'm telling you, they are fearless. I had lost a turkey with no sign whatsoever and then a few days later one of my roosters were making a hell of a racket, I ran to the back door and there was one in broad daylight with another rooster in his mouth. I knew I didn't have time to grab my gun before losing a rooster so I just ran out and started yelling at it. It dropped the rooster, turned and stared me down! We locked eyes for what seemed like 5 mins but was probably more like 1 or 2. Still, it's rare to see them during daylight hours unless they are rabid let alone have it stare you down with zero fear of humans, and I'm a big gurl. I wrote to the DNR and still haven't heard anything back.

[@juanjeremy2012]

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

[@gee_emm]

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

[@annemckeever2680]

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

[@GoRetroGirl]

OK...I'm sorry, but this woman is not very bright. She's walking her dog, sees the coyote...and continues to walk him right past. If you see a coyote the best thing to do is to SCREAM/YELL as LOUD as you can and wave your arms, making yourself look bigger. We had one in the backyard once at 11 AM when our cat was also outside and my mother and I started screaming--he heard us even though our windows were closed and bolted and ran. Last night a pack of them in the neighborhood woke me up at 4:15 AM with their bloodcurdling screeching and howling; I opened my bedroom window and screamed and they took off immediately.

Where I live one can walk on a trail and see coyotes. If I am without my medium size dog I don't fear them. They stop-look and amble away. There has never been a coyote attack on a human up here in the mountains where I live. I would never think of screaming but if they hang around my back property too long lounging around and looking TOO at ease, I clap my hands loudly and they take off. The younger ones run and the older ones amble away after giving me a dismissive look.
