Surviving a Coyote Ambush | Something Bit Me!

[@XPrincess30]

I hate when people act like you're dumb for being scared of coyotes.. it's so annoying.

[@JamesBiggar]

I hate it when people freak out because they hear howling in the woods. If you're not in danger, then yes - it is dumb to sit there and shiver in fear in your house.

[@b_uppy]

They've adopted wolf-like behaviour by running in packs and can overwhelm you easily where a single coyote would move on.

[@b_uppy]

@@JamesBiggar Try owning some livestock, or let your pet out at night...

[@brandonhill61]

In Georgia had them in my campsite. Coyotes howl and go for there prey but just like black bears they leave you alone

[@b_uppy]

@@brandonhill61 I heard of a story dating back to the sixties about a guy having to climb a tree to get away from them. Fire will usually keep them far enough away. Fear of fire is rather universal in the wild. Degree of hunger is a factor, too.

[@ThisPartIsAndrew]

My first house was in Longmont, we bought it in 2014, on the south end of town, closer to the plains and I can confirm that the coyote/coywolf problem is very big. There has been one confirmed human fatality, her name was Taylor Mitchell, she was a Canadian country singer.

[@indycharlie]

When was this that she was killed ? Was it in Co. ?

True nature is not meant to be messed with. Our species is so intrusive while threatening all beings, that they must evolve to survive at all costs. We must respect while we study.

[@aquamarine9568]

Years ago I was kneeling at the edge of the woods in some tall grass and after a few seconds I heard a snuffle, like a dog sniffing the dirt. I looked up and a coyote was standing staring at me less than 5 feet away. I had seen and heard numerous coyotes in this area before and never felt afraid. In that moment all I felt was true wonder at the beauty of nature. Glad Ididn’t see this video before that experience.

[@TanyaQueen182]

Having a family BBQ at my dad's (near Boston, MA) was me, my parents, siblings, and 2 little 5 year old girls. Middle of the day and a coyote just walked the edge of the property watching us. We all quietly took turns getting the little ones in the house. Then we went in the house. I assume it was a scout.

[@JamesBiggar]

It's not a mystery. They're predators and he was prey in the wrong place. That's their house. Different story when they're in yours. Attacks are rare for the same reason bear attacks are rare - because most humans are now urbanized and inexperienced, and don't typically stray into the wilderness where they don't belong.

[@b_uppy]

Coyotes venture into larger cities...

[@MariaAbrams]

They do come into cities. I've seen them in the outskirts of Vegas, but still well enough into city that I was surprised.

[@b_uppy]

@@MariaAbrams exactly. Most people are so disconnected they think they are dogs, though.

[@Caniacaniago007]

Good job 👍👍👍🌺

[@MariaAbrams]

Please keep in mind, this is a VERY rare thing to happen. You should still have a respect for these animals because they can attack you, but it really doesn't happen often. There's some good info here. Climb a tree if you can. This had to be so scary.

[@LadyAdakStillStands]

I instruct people who use my campground that if confronted by one, there will always be another to your right left or behind or all three. Shoot too warn usually scares them off. If not, use bear spray or the wilder and crazier you act frightens them. Pick up good heavy sticks, shout, dance, spin around in circles screaming like a psycho banshee! Or get up a tree. Do NOT run!

[@MariaAbrams]

@@rebeccajennings2166 that had to be crazy scary. I'm sorry that happened to you. I had one growl at me when I was younger, but it was sick and starving and the neighbor killed it. I was scared and sad that day.

[@MariaAbrams]

@@LadyAdakStillStands absolutely. Never run. Most of the time they scare off pretty easily, not always, but it's the norm.

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

The thing to do with pack is, focus on one, kill it & threaten the others with the carcass.

[@theherbalist1978]

Yes, and maximise brutality while killing the first one.

[@arjungiri7449]

Shocking story

[@heatherkaye8653]

Just the other day a coyote came down into my neighborhood. A very healthy looking large and well fed coyote. It was honestly gorgeous, but in the early afternoon bright daylight it was kind of shocking. We have some doofy neighborhood kitties who are let outside and they were hanging out on my neighbors driveway oblivious to the coyote. I chased the coyote off 6 times but it kept coming back and finally my neighbor got his kids cap gun and started running towards the coyote firing . It was those loud pops that finally got it to go for good. I walked back along the woods in which the coyote went into and theres a well worn path that goes to the creek behind my place. So its obviously been here before. I'd rather it munch on the invasive Canada geese than the doofy cats.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Why don't you guys eat Canada geese since it's invasive? Is it uncommon where you live?

[@heatherkaye8653]

@@MuhammadEgypt uh... I'm sure some folks do eat them... I'm just saying it's better for the coyote to eat the geese opposed to pet cats. I

[@monsierlemaire8282]

[@ceesparxxx]

[@duongthu4737]

who was filming him at that time anyway ?

[@markw999]

They could have been rabid. Coyotes are a serious problem for pets and small kids. I think the Coyo-Dog hybrids are probably getting more aggressive just because they're getting bigger. There are 80 lb "coyotes" near where I live. That's a far cry from the normal 40-50 lb animal they once were.

[@tonyawms3186]

*How did he survive?*

[@WildLifeUzOne]

Hi! So what happened?

[@lorikendrick5076]

I would have liked to see the end of this. How he got away. Why did you stop it there?

[@jdubs604]

I’ve seen hundreds of coyotes in my life and never once did they show aggression. Granted all of the sightings were from my day hikes. Not sure if it’ll be different at night but that’s on him if he’s out in the wild at night with no protection. I always bring 2 cans of bear sprays and firecrackers. I feel absolutely safe hiking in the mountains.

[@tonyawms3186]

You're a fool if you think the coyotes will never attack you.

[@deathdeathington]

Coyotes are coursing predators which means they prefer to take prey down that is on the hoof, running away from them. If you stand and fight you'll have a lot better chance of surviving.

[@b_uppy]

Coyotes are changing their behaviour. Being reliant on that is folly.

[@airtimedroneguy6449]

[@rski1036]

No issue with them here in the city but it appears these once "rare" attacks are not so anymore as a result of human's protecting them.

[@suryaanshsingh9283]

What happened after that

[@alansmith2000]

I am the first guy who is watching this video after 13 seconds of uploding

[@RickLambert963]

People aren’t “prey” to coyotes. Fear was the cause of the attack, predators sense this and go into dominant mode, prey sense fear and run away. Most important confronting predators in the wild is to not be afraid, take the alpha role immediately by not expressing the feeling of fear, easier said than done.

[@b_uppy]

Coyotes sense opportunity and go into attack mode..

[@RickLambert963]

@B uppy - Opportunity isn’t a sense. I’ve grown up, and live in maybe the most desolate part of the Rocky Mountains. My first coyote pack encounter happened when I was 15. I currently have difficulty keeping cats because of the coyotes. It’s you who needs to see the opportunity of having the capability of not having fear for them to sense.

[@b_uppy]

@@RickLambert963 I live in a rural area and am well acquainted wirh them. I know of what I speak. I have been observing their changes in behaviour for years. Coyotes are opportunists. They are known to venture into cities...

[@pit6055]

You are both right. Coyotes do take advantage of an opportunity, they are really oppurtunistic. But if the person in this video established himself as the alfa he wouldn't have been seen as an opportunity.

[@b_uppy]

@@pit6055 Alpha works only sometimes...

[@evoel1197]

Come to Indonesia

[@theotheleo6830]

Why?

[@petepal55]

Coyotes attack cats, not for food, but to get rid of a competitor. Fla panthers love coyote meat, I believe it's their population decline that has allowed the coyote to penetrate into Fl as it has. I protect my cats, I believe it's both a moral and legal responsibility. If a human hurts my cat they're in for a fun time either in the street or a courthouse, why should a coyote have more rights and consideration than a human?
