Aside from their penchant to hop fences and obliterate small pets, I support coyotes. They generally will feed on rodents, but they certainly aren’t going to shy away from putting paws on a deer or two. Whatever your opinion, you have to respect their ability to adapt and scavenge. They’re survivors in every sense of the word. So much so, that one of my major issues with AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is the noticeable lack of coyote. Like, where the fuck are they, man?
But yeah, like the American wolf, you could say I have a soft spot for their relative, the coyote. But the real question is, would I raise one in my home? Because this guy is, and he’s got a cat in there too which seems like it may end poorly.
Honestly, that’s the most regal coyote you’re ever going to see. Healthy weight and a strong coat. You can tell it’s been off the streets for a while.
This is what worries me. Natasha is tossing that cat around like a rag doll. I know the video ends with some playful banter, but Natasha has killer in her blood. It’s only a matter of time. Hope I’m wrong.
Holy shit. He’s feeding this beast almonds. That’s a decent amount of protein and a respectable amount of healthy fats. May as well feed her a drifter or two while you’re at it, because at this rate she’s going to need human flesh to be satisfied. I don’t know what he’s thinking.
A lot of people don’t know this, but coyotes often sleep with both eyes open when they’re stressed. You can tell Natasha has a lot on her mind. She probably feels guilty that she’s had so many blessings bestowed upon her while so many others out there are scavenging through alleys looking for scraps.
I will continue to monitor Natasha’s situation closely..

I too encountered a situation like this, though my situation was caused by a well-intentioned but misguided SeaWorld employee. While I never developed a taste for human flesh I had to remove myself from that enclosure pretty quickly. Janice, if you’re still out there/employed at SeaWorld I’m sorry I left without saying goodbye but as you know, I’m as free as a bird now and this bird you cannot change.
An 11 year old girl runs that instagram so let’s not try to inundate her feed with “your coyote is about to murk your cat” lol
How does your wife feel about you adopting a wolf and now bringing a coyote into the home?
She’ll have to deal with it because family comes first.
So true, Dave. So true. She has to love your family man attitude.
I watched all of both videos and I feel good about that time commitment. <3 Natasha
Jean hated coyotes
I have a bunch of friends that hunt coyotes. I am fine with it but personally am reminded too much of dogs to pull the trigger (unless it is going for the kill. Survival of the fittest)
That’s the reason I have to tell my wife I’m bird hunting when I hunt coyotes.
Does using a gun to make that kill qualify us bragging rights to be towards the top of the “survival of the fittest” category? I am still undecided about that.
You can get past a dog, but nobody fucks with a coyote!
This is a wild effing animal! Who are these people that think this is ok?! Mind blown.
Anything is considered, “wild” if it was raised in the wild, or otherwords away from the way humans approve of the world. This Coyote clearly isn’t a wild animal.
Ever been to a petting zoo? If so, was your mind blown when you were able to pet and feed a buck??
Considering this is a captive-born coyote who has never been in the wild, and lives in Saskatoon, SK, Canada and her best friend is a calico cat, named Tootsie, it is likely they were raised together. There will likely be no issues in this case. The only issues I see might be from stupid people whose first instinct will be to kill the coyote without investigating the situation.
