This story tells the tale of a brave man helping a helpless coyote hanging upside down from a fence. And how animals can feel on when a kind human is trying to help them.
Stuck
This poor coyote has become completely entangled in a metal fence and is basically hanging upside down, unable to move an inch. Luckily, it is spotted by a man who realizes that he must intervene if the coyote is to survive.
First Try
On the first try of trying to release the coyote, the man cut his one leg free from the fence. Only to realize that the poor thing was still stuck.
Snip Snip
He cuts the metal fence but needs to be really careful to make sure he doesn’t do further harm. At last, the coyote is freed and finally gallops into freedom again.
Free At Last
As with many rescue stories, it is we humans who have caused the harm (putting up a fence) but often it is also us who selflessly come to the rescue, like this brave man.
The U.S. state with the Largest Coyote Population
Texas boasts the largest coyote population in the United States. This is due to its diverse habitats and abundant food sources, which provide an ideal environment for coyotes to thrive. In Texas, coyotes play a crucial role in the ecosystem, helping control populations of rodents and other small mammals.
In other words, the man who saves the coyote is also doing the surrounding ecosystem a favor.
Are Coyotes Dangerous?
Coyotes, often misunderstood and feared, generally pose minimal danger to humans. They are naturally wary of people and prefer to keep their distance. However, like any wild animal, they can become defensive if they feel threatened or cornered. Coyotes are more of a concern for small pets, which they might view as prey.
Their Howl
The eerie howl of a coyote is one of the most iconic sounds of the American wilderness. Coyotes howl to communicate with each other, conveying messages over long distances.
Why Do They Howl?
Howling helps in maintaining social bonds, establishing territorial boundaries, and coordinating hunting strategies. This vocalization serves as a beacon, drawing together pack members and asserting their presence in the vast landscapes they inhabit.
Skilled Predators
Coyotes are adaptable predators, thriving in various environments across North America. Their hunting skills are honed by sharp senses and remarkable agility.
What Makes Them Great Hunters?
These animals are primarily nocturnal hunters, using their keen hearing and sight to locate prey. Coyotes are opportunistic feeders, preying on small mammals, birds, and reptiles, and can also be found scavenging.
Do Coyotes Attack Dogs?
Coyotes may view small dogs as potential prey and larger dogs as competition. While attacks on dogs are not common, they do occur, especially in areas where coyotes’ natural habitats overlap with urban settings. To protect pets, it’s advisable to supervise them outdoors, especially at dawn, dusk, and nighttime, when coyotes are most active.
