Coyotes

[Catherine]

I think coyotes mostly see pets as food. A larger dog might be different. They would probably avoid a larger dog.

I don't think coyotes have the pack structure that wolves have.  It is not unusual to see a lone coyote. Wolves live a pack life. They would have to study coyotes more to understand how they react socially. Understanding them better would help us to know how to interact with them and how to protect our pets. They certainly don't fear us the way wolves do.
