Hey guys I have some questions about Coyotes, seems I have a bunch of them out back. But I have questions regarding their behaviour and their randomness!
First off if anyone has a good resource on coyote behaviour and what their various calls mean I would appreciate it, it would help me understand these animals.
They seem to just start freaking out for no reason... Everything is dead calm and still all of a sudden the pack breaks out yelping, sounds like dozens of them. This will last for 30 seconds. Then everything is right back to dead calm, not a peep.
Other times I hear them howling (didn't know they did this) you will soon hear several others begin to howl, then the yelping starts again.... And dies quickly.
Then they will Yelp for several long minutes (I'm assuming after a kill?) almost sounds like they are fighting. As I have what heard what sounds to be injured dogs afterwords whining and crying as if in pain...
I enjoy hearing the haunting echos in the late evening and nighttime... And I hope they stick around.... Sometimes it sounds like they are 10 feet away! Pretty sure we have a couple of packs out back...
I'm just wondering if there is a resource to try and understand what is going on out in the bush.
Thanks folks.
