I bet people have also been tossing bits of food to him. Might be why he approaches humans as he does.

I'm an animal behaviorist (zoologist/ethology)...You weren't in any danger. A few times it was marking territory with it's jaw, so you're in a place where it's communicating with others. I've been surrounded by many coyotes at night in the desert SW where I've run into these behaviors as well. When they flatten their ears and approach you straight on is when you worry. Neat encounter.

coyote to human: "WTF are you doing?"

If you saw him pull out an ACME rocket launcher you should of been afraid.

That animal is not stalking or threatening. If you have ever seen a coyote stalking, you would easily see that this one is simply curious.

It's starving... and would eat you if you held still.

You're reading him all wrong. He's exploring new territory and he annoyed by you for competing with him for the same space. And now he has to give up space and go back to his own territory by going around you.

My guess is this coyote lost his hunting skills a while ago. He’s waiting for you to give him food.

It doesn't look like he is viewing you as lunch, I think he is quite unsure about why you are getting up and down.

I think you should call your series "Man Stalks Coyote."

He wasn't trying any attack. He is looking for food. People have been feeding him. If he wanted to attack the little dog with the woman he would have. You're overstating the coyote's perceived aggression. When you lay down, you're being submissive and inviting him closer. I like most of your other videos but I think you're way off base on this one.

Lol!! It's you again. I just watched your "stalking lady and dog" vid and then clicked on this not knowing it was the same cast of characters. ;) I swear you just have yourself a confident, curious animal that hasn't had a particularly bad experience with humans yet (probably the opposite-probably fed by humans) and is relaxed around them. I don't think this handsome animal is out to attack anyone. Maybe just enjoy observing him with out the dramatics. Lol

Dude..... you're still bothering that poor little dog????

Haha this is hilarious! He actually thinks a coyote would attack him! The Coyote is probably just curious or its wondering why this guy is making a fool of himself. There was a court case here in America where a poacher tried to tell the judge the coyote attacked him, but the judge and scientists on the case didnt fall for it.

You are correct about most coyotes, but read up on the Eastern coyote. Here is what Wikipedia said and there is more in the article. A study showed that of 100 coyotes collected in Maine, 22 had half or more wolf ancestry, and one was 89% wolf. The large eastern coyotes in Canada are proposed to be actually hybrids of the smaller western coyotes and wolves that met and mated decades ago, as the coyotes moved toward New England from their earlier western ranges.[23]

Dude just put a leash on him and take him home already.

Lol at “he wants to get a closer look cause he thinks I’m hurt now.” Laying down is a universal sign of submission in dogs dude. To them it just means “I’m not a threat, want to play?”

This coyote is used to people and is probably fed by them from time to time. He doesn't seem dangerous as he is curious but he has a tough life living in an area so saturated by humans with little room to roam unnoticed. If he doesn't really bother anyone just leave him alone, no need to find a way to justify killing him like we do for so many animals under the guise of so called "sport." And before you idiots can call me a liberal, I am a conservative, so save your breath...not all people against the wanton killing of wildlife are not mere liberals.

Pretty obvious this coyote came there to pay his respect, probably to one of his victims.

Attack strategy? He was just curious. Coyotes usually stalk their prey before ambushing it.

Coyote probably just curious and hungry. Just like every dog.

I live in Vancouver and have seen many Coyotes while walking home from work at night. Have also seen them in plain daylight while driving in a car. Seen 2 at one time before. I haven't seen any in a while though. They go after small prey and not adult humans. They are more scared of humans than we should feel threatened by them. Definitely don't feed coyotes. As for this video the coyote is not stalking or hunting you but simply is being curious about what you are doing.

I think you're paranoid

Wow! I've never seen such a calm coyote like that before. He must've buried food nearby and was looking for it or he was really curious about you (cameraman). lol! The coyotes around here are majorly wild and run like hell if it spots you 100 ft away. haha! mangy looking aren't they?

Brings back wonderful memories of my working at Forest Lawn/Glendale. A coyote pack roamed the grounds for food during late night/early morning. Although told not to, and not being afraid of them, I got (2) of the (6) trained to come to me. I'd park the truck, call them by names I'd given them and give them food. I didn't tell my day supervisor; once when he came to the truck, my supervisor flipped out when he saw all my coyotes alongside it, their waiting for me to feed them. Miss them so much.

I’m gonna lie down on the ground and show ya what he does: literally nothing.

What happened after this? Did he run off on his own or did you have to chase him off?

Coyote paying respect to come graves of the deceased that no one else visits 😏

Coyote: Who is this guy? Why is he filming me in a graveyard ? Why is he lying down on the ground in a graveyard ? Is he okay ?

Attack strategy? Not exactly the attitude of an animal that wants to attack....

Again this is a sick coyote. He has mange.

The only thing that scares me about this coyote is that fact that he is NOT afraid of humans or the city life. He is probably living on house cats and stray dogs. Need to get him trapped and get him out of there or kill him. When he runs out of cats and dogs he will start on toddlers and old ladies.

+Elizabeth Gaspodnetich Well said!

you were entertaining it, you were interesting thats all

I had no idea opportunistic curiosity was a hunting strategy. This totally isn't it thinking you might have food. >_

Awww, he looks hungry. Couldn't you just have fed him a finger or two?

I don't think he is stalking you,he is browsing and looks to me as if he is hoping for a handout. He looks to me like a coyote who has become somewhat socialized in that built up area and probably has people who has fed him in the past. If he were stalking he would be hunting in a group and clearly behaving in a very loud and menacing way.

I believe the coyote is just curious about you. I just came face to face with a coywolf on the weekend. He stared at me and I stared back. Then we both walked away in different directions. This voyote seemed frightened of you.

beautiful animal !!!!!

This coyote appears to have mange.

What's wrong with his tail?

When 1:05 you fall down 1:35 the Coyote tries to copy you and lies down.

Few weeks ago I encountered an Eastern coyote (or should I say "Coywolf" since all of the coyotes here in the eastern to Atlantic regions have varying degrees of Grey wolves in them) while walking by Lake Ontario and tried to use the same method as you did but instead of circling me the Coywolf took off at full speed before i could pull out my iphone. There's a huge difference between your western pure coyotes and my eastern Coywolves temperament-wise

From how he was acting and reacting to you he was showing signs of pure curiosity and then he didnt see you as a threat from teh start for the face he relaxed multiple times and stated scavenging for food in the area. He saw you fall and wondered what is this near me and was trying to getg closer to figure it out. He wasnt thinking you as food and since aparently hes in teh area alot he must be used to humen interaction and also seemed like he was waiting for you to feed him.

"Braaains!" - Coyote Zombie

I had a coyote follow me from the bus stop to my front door. It was in the summertime in broad daylight. It didn't attack, just kept pace with my walking. Came up the driveway and up the steps to the house. I closed the glass screen door and we both looked at each other in confusion. My instinct told me he needed some food. So after we looked at each other for a minute, he turned tail and left. I wasn't actually afraid until I got behind the glass screen door, funnily enough. But I am naturally observant, and knew he was following me from the start. The other thing is, animals, whatever they are, birds, foxes, and mice come to me to communicate. I suppose I can add "coyote" to the list!

This coyote is just paying his respects.

If you know anything about Canines in general (Wolves, Coyotes.. even domesticated dogs), lying down is most likely seen as submission, and I wouldn't doubt if he was also curious about you, too. But if you act as if you are sure of yourself (confident), and assertive (and dominant), he'll be less likely to want to "tango" with you.

this is a coyote with mange...notice he hair a almost hairless tail, he is scratching and you can see the mange is already starting on the fron shins of his legs...he has also most likely been getting handouts, this is why he lacks fear.... a fed coyote is a dead coyote

By allowing it to do this you are just adding to its boldness, Whenever you see an urbanized Coyote immediately charge at it, wave your arms,yell, throw sticks and stones at it.

I have come across coyotes a couple of times. I have found them very shy as they slink around. I have been as close as you in this video but I was not circled. I would not have gone down on my knees to try to draw him close as you did. I think it likely that this coyote was fed by someone and it was looking for another hand out.

Do you go on the Bruce trail too .. any sightings of lynx .. bobcats in Caledon area as hike there often

Most of the coyotes here have mange and it seems to start at the tail. Unfortunately these animals have a slow painful death and end up dying in the winter when the mange gets severe. I have seen 7 different coyotes in one week before. They may look the same but they are not, after a while you can tell the difference. Like this video - I called this one scare face.

From Wikipedia : "Coyote attacks on humans are uncommon and rarely cause serious injuries, due to the relatively small size of the coyote...."

laswan s. Thanks for the reply. Surely Wikipedia ignores the fact that packs of coyotes can represent a serious threat to humans. But I think, even if only by hunger, its nature will take him to get closer and closer to man. Peacefully.

Thing has mange, look at the tail, and how its scratching itself

@cateyes221981 Actually, large northern coyotes from the upper Midwest(Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota), or the Northeast, often hit 50lbs, and animals over 60 are not unheard of. While in most of the southern and plains states, they are indeed the size you quoted...large ones in the northern Tier(outside of wolf territory in the great lakes, where wolves take over that niche), can indeed at least on occasion, hit those larger weights. Largest I've personally seen was around 55.

was this shot at the ACME Memorial Park?

It is unusual for a coyote to approach people this closely. It is habituated with no fear and is probably not simply curious.

actually that coyote seems to have some form of mange. He looks more curious then aggressive. I lived around coyotes for years, yes they went after my chickens even cats, but I never felt any fear they would harm me. I cant help wondering on this animals background

Video ends suddenly with no comment. Coyote killed cameraman.

Did some coyote research and found that if you allow these animals to come close to you or if you feed them they will eventually lose their natural fear of humans. This will most certainly ensure an attack on a young child at some point. Then that will ensure the coyote is shot dead by state wildlife officials. A loss for all involved including the coyotes life.

AJ ME. coyote attacks are extremely rare. wolf attacks are almost nonexistent.

How tall were the sticks that mark out the graveyard? It might give a sense of scale...

just wondering. bc here in my state we can shoot coyotes year round as long as we have a hunting license. they are a nuisance and we are allowed to shoot all coyotes that we see. but im pretty sure we arent allowed to shoot so close to town unless it was an emergency.

Coyotes do attack humans, especially children. If these were wolves living in our neighborhood going after people, their children and their pets then everybody would feel differently and want something done. When my son was young I had a coyote come after us in a park and two Grandmothers (who were there with their grandchildren), helped me scare it back enough so we could leave and get in our cars. Several people had the same thing happen and we all called in about it. It finally it attacked a little girl on the swings and pulled her off. Poor little girl had to have a shot and stitches and then they finally came and killed it.

I agree by the look of his tail he may have mange. I am in Chicago I see behavior like this when people make the mistake of throwing tid bits of food to them, not saying the camera did just saying looks like some one may have. As for Coyotes being dangerous most won't attack, I been stalked while walking my dog I have two one a friendly outgoing hippie type lab and the other a mutt with a huge prey drive of about the same size, funny how the coyotes can tell, when walking the lab they come in close, when walking Dodger they clear out even though he does not bark or growl

01:22 Digging the dead. WTF RU doing hanging out in the cemetery

Is he stalking the same coyote? Lol

well said. i grew up around them, not only is he not stalking, he probably wonders what ur trip is and whether or not you are a threat. you can tell by the way his tail is down and between his legs. if he as stalking it would be slowly wagging. stalking, lol.

why were you on the ground? doesn't that make you more vulnerable?

That coyote had the mange!

And this coyote seems particularly bold, and in the daytime?!? I would fear illness, if I saw an animal acting like this in daylight.

I live in a small town on the Olympic Peninsula in WA state. There are so many coyotes here it's insane! Right here in town. Of course they're out in the county also but I hear them and see them in town night and day. I hate when people put up lost dog and or lost cat signs. I know they will probably never see their pet again. I's such a big problem here that I would think everyone would know by now and keep their pets inside. And be with them when they go out. I have lost 2 cats to coyotes and so has my daughter. Coyotes aren't as afraid of people as they used to be. I'm almost 64 and lived out in the county in very rural areas mostly. I have seen plenty of coyotes and they are known to be shy. Not so much anymore though. It's been on the local news that they have made aggressive moves on small kids and even adults in parks that border cities like Seattle. I don't trust them at all. My friend was riding on a trail that runs both in and out of town. Not far from her house her hose stopped and not 15 feet away just off the trail was a coyote. It just stood there watching as she filmed it. She made a move and sounds because she didn't want to back down. So it walked away slowly, like not a care in the world. I'm glad my kids are grown adults.

+Traci Scheelk I'm sorry for your loss also. My daughter lost 2 and then the 3rd one, omg she was so special. Small but quick and independant as heck! But so sweet. They always kept tabs on her and though she went out during the day and somewhat supervised, she was always in at night. I lived in my travel trailer behind their house and one night I stayed with a friend. Came home and they were outside. I walked over to her and her husband and my daughter said Itty-Bitty didn't come in all night. I knew right then and it was like someone just reached in and jerked my heart right out of my chest. I was living outside of a little town before that when I lost my Baby Girl and Deuce. In a trailer out in the woods. I had a window open all the time and made it so they had something to climb up on and could come through the window when they wanted or needed to. I could hear the coyotes every night. I would go out and bang pots and lids thinking I was scaring them off. But after my cats were gone a friend was over and we walked out in the brush and trees behind my place and not 25 or 30 feet behind my trailer we could see where they'd been hanging out, laying down and whatever. Watching my cats probably! I don't like them anymore. People used to hunt them and it kept the numbers more balanced. But the only way one can shoot them now is if you're a farmer and they come on your land say like when the cows are having their calves. Cuz they are trying to get the babies. When my son in law is haying on the family farm the coyotes are thick! They are after all the rats, mice and rabbits that are disturbed by the big mower. It's a cruel world I'm afraid. Check this out...we have so many deer in town it's dangerous to drive around at night because they walk right out in front of you. It's insane how many there are. My daughter in law got a almost medium size dog and so she puts a leash on and walks him twice a day. Damn deer charged them! Scared the heck out of her. She saw it and was staying across the road and there were no new babies and none close by. But something rattled that deer! They can beat the heck out of a person and their hooves are sharp. There's YT videos on that also. Ya know I always say I won't get another one cuz I will have a broken heart one way or another. But though it took some time I do have another cat. I'm a glutton for punishment! Take care. Sorry I didn't mean to write a book!

Traci Scheelk I have never heard of deer attacking or charging at people. Unless I suppose one feels threatened or maybe during mating season. Males can be aggressive toward other male deer but I don't know about people. I stay out of their way but they will go right up to an open window where I saw a woman feeding apple slices to a mom deer and her yearling. The cat I have now will be 13 in June but I've only had her since she was 10. The family before me had her since she was tiny. The lady had allergies and said they were getting worse so she had to get rid of her. They also had busy lives, kids and a couple of big dogs! So the cat was in the way a lot and in fact she said they kept her and her food and her litter box in a bathroom for the last 8 months they had her! She was scared when she came to live with me. I gave her space and time. She would let me pet or brush her about 3-5 stokes and then just attack and draw blood. She had a flea collar on when I got her and the lady gave me some spay on cleaner because she said she didn't clean herself. As soon as she left I took the collar off and threw away all the toxic stuff she had given me. She began grooming herself a few days later and the she was puking up hairballs. But that was temp. Now hwe fur is soft and shiny and she hardly ever has fur balls. She used to go outside at her old home if she wanted. But then they began to leave her in the bathroom. With me she is very content to stay in though she loves to sit in her favorite overstuffed chair and look outside at times. She had really no personality when she arrived. Now she talks to me and loved to be brushed and or petted. Best mannered cat I've ever had. No way will she get up on a table or counter! She just won't. I still can't hold her in my lap but maybe in time. I can pick her up and hold her for a minute and I know when she's had enough. She hasn't scratched me in well over a year. One problem I do have is she won't use a scratch post or anything and is starting to scratch the carpet in a couple places. It's pulling some of the carpet out so I have to figure something out for that. Thank you so much.

+Traci Scheelk I have adopted a 10 year old female cat who had been abused and neglected. She will be 13 in June. She's very happy to sit in the window and watch the world out there. She has no desire to go out although I understand she was an outside cat before. She can't replace my Baby Girl and or Duecy Boy. But I love her too.To free up my heart it took someone telling me that my 2 little furry family members wouldn't want me to be sad like I was. It made sense. They never liked it when I was down.

was this video shot in Canada? Just curious....beautiful shots, congrats!

if hes trying to act uninterested, what acting school did he go to?

Someone's been feeding that coyote...He wasn't after you but wanted a food handout.

They do this to gather scent, checking the wind direction for a scent check. I've called them with a predator call and they almost always circle first.

Please get your facts right. We were here first - Burnaby , Vancouver area. Coyotes started showing up around 1985. I'm all for coexisting with coyotes and other wildlife. I helped rescue 5 coyote pups last year. You need to check out this website so you can understand coyotes a little more.(Co-Existing with Coyotes - Stanley Park Ecology Society)

Clearly this coyote wants what's underneath those headstones!! No Bueno!!

Nice. We have quite a few coyotes out my way and I get nervous letting my dog out at night when I can't see her as well (she's a tiny one). I had no idea coyotes were so brazen. I thought they were far shier than the wolf. I do like the site you pointed to. I'm going to share it among my circle. Thanks for the video. It was interesting to watch.

He's not hungry or has rabies........it's mating season.....and you're look'n gooood there handsome!!!

Good video. Enjoyed.

Ya that scratching was a definite sign he was about to attack!

The coyote looks healthy and strong, probably late spring and he is loosing his winter coat. Looks like other critters tried to catch him and in doing so pulled the skin and hair off of his tail.

@7archers So an encounter with a gray squirrel can be serious? Because according to your logic it would.

LOL. Thanks for the info.

Why's it got no fur on the tip of its tail? It looks like the bones in his tail are fused into a long rod or something.

How come theres no grave stones standing up?

dude you're playing with fire

Very weird, this was a cemetry right, why were there poles stuck in the ground and what looked like coloured flags also, seems a very strange cemetry. Good filming though TU

lol, loved that reply. We've had a problem here in Tennessee for a while now. Oddly enough, they seem to be larger than Western coyotes and according to tests on DNA, they have timber wolf. So, obviously something happened as they crossed this way. This coyote looks to me just to be curious if you have food. My best friend had one come within 3 feet of him, but it was after a dog that was with him. He said the animal just ignored his presence - he killed it for that reason.

Be crazy if the coyote could actually smell the rotting flesh

This animal looks sick. Mange from the looks of it. Bare bony tail, constant scratching.

He just wants to hang out with you and you took it the wrong way...;0)

Nonsense. He is looking for a hand out.

Most people don't realize: this is how zombies get started....a zombie infected coyote bites a human cadaver.

Im freaking out right now, it was 1:10am yesterday and I heard footsteps behind me... turns out it was a coyote walking down the trains tracks less than 10 feet away from me! No one else was around and he just looked at ma, trotted on by and into the darkness! I ran back to my car right after he walked into the bushes... He was not scared of me at ALL.

I live in the northside of Phoenix AZ, and at night they come walking down the street looking for food or small dogs and cats.I've seen them come as close as 10 feet away.Their pretty smart animals.They come into the outskirts of the city cuz the predator hunters can't shoot em.

Lay there long enough and lots of things will take advantage of the moment. He's clearly more frightened of u. If ure so concerned, trap him and drive him somewhere he can find real food.

Coyotes are cool! They seem to make good hunters game posing for the perfect shot.
