That is funny. How come coyotes don't need taped ears? We have lots of coyotes here. It's funny tho since I live in a suburban neighborhood. I have seem them closer to civilization than I live so I guess they are everywhere. Scariest coyote moment was in Bakersfield CA a few years ago. I was pottying 2 adults and a pup, late at night on the show grounds. I saw what I thought was a large cat running along the back part of the field. This animal started tracking us. As it got closer, I realized it was a coyote. I grabbed the pup under my arm and had to drag the adults back to the RV. I think this was a decoy bitch in season as my Alpha bitch went nuts. The neutered male was curious but not willing to fight. Darn males, LOL! This coyote did not seem afraid of me of the dogs. Wouldn't trust them for a second. Second scariest moment was a wolf in CO. Beautiful animal. Same dogs in that situation but even my Alpha bitch wanted to go back to the RV, NOW!. LOL!
