Slow.......

The coyotes around here are as big as wolves. I had a staring contest with one the other day. It was not afraid in the least. It was big, about the size of a lab. But it also had the high ground so it may have looked bigger than it was. Though the wolf has bred with the coyotes around here creating coywolves.

Never had them kill anything but chickens. They do love chicken. I caught one sneaking up onto my chicken coop but it saw me and ran. It never got near the chickens but the next day my electric chicken netting was torn down at night. I suspect it came back at night and hit the fence. It broke 2 fiberglass post.

known as coywolves, in parts of the country, mostly north and some of the northeast, and in parts of Canada. And guess how this happens? Lone wolves, such as this one, may mate with a female coyote they come across. They will settle down and raise pups just like any normal family. The resulting offspring are larger than coyotes and have the smarts of both parents. I saw a documentary on this somewhere.
(As an aside, coyotes are pretty promiscuous, and smart too...in addition to eating your small pets, they will mate with larger dogs, given the opportunity.)
