Coyotes

[Tobi]

I think (?) if the Coyotes heard/sensed there was a pack much bigger than them sending 'warning sounds' out, they might stay away. But then as I said I don't know enough about Coyote behaviour and am basing my ideas on what happened with Wolves.

They will attack pets for two reasons probably. One: they see them as prey (re: cats and tiny dogs etc) Two: they see them as rivals for territory and/or food source (larger/medium sized dogs.)
