COYOTE no wolf trust me I spent 3 years with her. In summer she little. That her winter coat she looks big my Dog is 62 pounds and she smaller then my dog when her winter coat gone.
I looked it up, I dont wanna burst your bubble, but a coydog is only possible with a male coyote and a female dog, I'm researching to find if it's possible for now, for now it's not possibe. I'll update you later
@@SuperShadowJared You are wrong. Both male and female dogs can mate and have fertile pups with coyotes. Please read up on canine research and DNA studies. Matter of fact many snow coyotes and eastern coyotes have male dog ancestry. Wolves, coyotes, and dogs are all closely related canines and can produce fertile offspring.
@@SuperShadowJared your absolutely wrong. A coyote and a dog have the same chromosomes. They match up perfectly well. Just like a Great Dane and a Chihuahua.
I think the like each other...how sweet.. do you feed her.? I am afraid for her with the loss of her toes..does she sleep someplace warm...thanks for sharing this with us..so cool to see
I absolutely love this. Every time my pitbull sees a coyote in the woods they will stop and look at each other almost in recognition. It seems like they know they are probably closer to cousins than enemies but circumstance has put them on opposite sides. this video just proves what I have always known about coyotes and dogs. Natural friends not enemies
Coyotes typically (from my experience) only eat pets like designer, small dogs and cats. They tend to be neutral or submissive with larger dogs if caught alone. Larger groups of coyotes will be more aggressive, single ones more passive.
It's quite a bit more (and funnily enough, LESS) optimistic than that: -Coyotes generally don't pick fights with other animals their size at all; they are skinny and not at all built for scraps. They occasionally nip at other dog's heels, but that isn't them initiating a fight; they're territorial with other coyotes and given they are capable of mating with domesticated dogs, they see them as other coyotes and are trying to ward them off their territory -This leads to the topic of packs... Which coyotes don't have... Like, at all. They, at most, will find one other hunting partner. They DO form families and are incredibly familial as a matter of fact, but they have adapted to not form packs as it increases their chances of dying as a group since literally about everything in the wild is predispositioned to want them dead. Not gone, "dead". Donkeys, badgers, bears, even wolves and crows have beef with them and will dumpster them on sight. Crows will even fly OVER the coyote to reveal their position to chasing wolves. -Because they can mate with wolves and domestic dogs alike, and because they are family driven and are monogamous AKA they mate for life, coyotes like the one in this video or the ones you experienced will not only make great friends with your pets (assuming they aren't too small or feeble, coyotes WILL try to eat them when it comes down to brass tax, however...). In fact, sometimes lone coyotes forgo forming hunting bonds with their mate and instead hunt with their new friend. This takes the form of LITERALLY ANY ANIMAL they were able to form a bond with; cats, raccoons, badgers, birds, and even neighborhood dogs. They ironically make great pets for this reason too. It's really cute seeing them be friendly in these stories in the comments or in videos like these because Coyotes have it rough, so their guard is naturally up all the time. The dog in this video, Rocky? He could rip that coyote to shreds if he wanted to and easily overpower it; that female isn't bulky, that hair is all fluff. Rocky could DESTROY that coyote... But no, they're friends, and this wild coyote who has already lost a foot and is both vulnerable already is exhibiting play behavior. She has more reason than most coyotes to be 100% on her guard, and she dropped it and formed a bond with a dog and a human. That is ridiculously wholesome to me
I just found this video. I love it! I’m sorry you lost your coyote. This is one of those once in a lifetime things you just have to let play out because you know you’ll probably never have the experience again. I had an orphaned feral hog (sow) that showed up one day playing under the protection of my donkeys and horses. She felt secure with them. We named her Pig-Pig and had her for around five years. She had many piglets that would grow up and move off into the woods, but she stayed around. Sometimes big males would show up to mate with her. I eventually was able to hand-feed her, and pet her just a little. We got plenty of pictures and videos. I knew we’d never have the experience again. My husband got cancer, and we had to move away for treatment. My family fed her less and less, until she went back to the wild woods. It was a bittersweet ending…I lost her and my husband, but we made so many good memories, and I have it on video. ❤️❤️❤️
I won't call them best friends I would call them mates and I won't be surprised if they had pups hidden somewhere with rocky seeking our food without the owner noticing
This is adorable!!! I agree with the others on here who mentioned her obvious leg hold trap injury that caused the loss of part of her foot/leg. Leg hold traps are awful and so inhumane!!! So many animals (including people's pets) have lifelong extremely painful injuries b/c of these traps. I've seen stray dogs & also people's pet dogs and cats that have chewed their legs off or lost their lives due to leg hold traps. They should be banned. Coyotes never travel alone so I'm betting this girl lost her pack when she was trapped in the leg hold trap or when she could no longer keep up with them anymore. She's befriended this dog for companionship b/c she doesn't want to be alone. Its a dangerous world out there for a lone coyote without a pack. It's so sweet that she has Rocky & his people!!! I had a fox that lived on my property for years and she was BFF's with my Maine coon cat. They would play all the time. She was also fond of one of my dogs. She would always have her kits near my house, probably b/c she felt they'd be safe & protected there. Wildlife and nature are amazing and awesome!!
Over the years, three of our dogs had/have coyote "friends" they regularly play with during evening walks. Our dogs are at least twice the size of the coyote so my biggest concern is disease/worms. This year is the first time a coyote has come down to the house looking for a playmate, but our GSD drives her away. I think it's interesting that they interact only during summer/early fall months since we don't have harsh winters and coyotes don't migrate.
I can't stand these stupid people that think every single coyote automatically wants to kill your dog. While it is true that a lot of coyotes really do wanna attack dogs some individuals really do only wanna play with them.
@Clumsy Feline the ones who are really cruel are the poachers who don't even bother killing the animals. They just saw off or cut out the part they want and leave the animal to die slowly.
How far away does this coyote sleep from your home and if does she solely rely on you for food? I'm also assuming your dog is neutered otherwise there would be coydog pups by now? Sorry for the many questions, just very curious!
She sleep in the day time in a little wooden area in a Rock cut or under the porch . Rocky not neutered they got together and lockup for 15 minutes she did not get pregnant because she two old . That what the vet said. She got put to sleep last year she got hit by a snow machine her two front legs were broken I brought her to the vet and she said she to old to try to save her because her teeth where all worn out and so we decided to say goodbye. SHE was pretty old but she had a good 3 years with Rocky they played every day.
She always came at the house after supper to come and see Rocky and also for food she was fed good. She came for walks with us in the woods in my snowshoes trails all the time she love being with us and we love being with her.
Do you live further out west. I live in Illinois and the coyotes around here are more furry because they actually have some wolf blood in them. And plus Midwestern winters.
@@burialbrigadevideos7498 I live in Los Angeles and there's a pack of them up in the hill of where I live. The ones here will walk side-by-side with you like they're your pet lol.
Jo Jo Those are California Valley Coyotes they have thinner coats of fur for the hotter climate of The Mojave and California area. Out East we have Eastern Coyotes with thicker coats for the colder climate. The one in the video is most likely a species of Eastern Coyote.
I could be wrong, but is the coyote possibly in heat. I've noticed that she seems to maneuver her tail end right in front of him. But it does look like a mating dance. Just a question does it look like this to anyone else? 🤔
Cute...and coyote looks much beter/helthier/ then few years ago...nice😊🐻🍀👍 Still can see some problem with front-right legg..but in general looks a bit bigger and skin/hair is kinde of fuller and nicer All the best from Croatia😊🙌
It looks like she wants to be his mate. Given that this video was probably taken in January-March she could also be in Estrus or Proestrus. Hence, the unusually repetitive behavior of her showing him her behind.
A dog and wild coyote in harmony.And us humans are supposed to the most intelligent of all gods creatures we cant even get over the black or white thing.
Many years ago a friend of mine her female dog I’ve got what kind of dog was gotten impregnated by a coyote and the pups were great they were very very intelligent also it would be a great mix between those two thank you for being good to that coyote
I have a half dozen to a dozen coyotes living on my property. They think I'm living on their property. Packs of coyotes routinely eat pet cats and dogs. The bird population benefits from the lack of outdoor cats. Purebred domesticated dogs seem to get less and less healthy over time. Coyotes, who receive no veterinarian care, and are subject to survival of the fittest, seem to be doing well.
I surprisingly agree with all your points... Birds definitely would enjoy a world with less domestic and feral Cats, and dogs would Just benefit from coyote's Blood
Sadly, in most states wild dog adoption is illegal unless you have a license, and even then, they don’t hand those out to people who want them as pets. In some southern states you can take coyotes in. But based on the snow everywhere, this person can’t legally take them in.
@@charleshultgren7804 Sucks. I feel that if you can prove to the government that you can raise one, and the one you're raising is well behaved, you should be able to keep one.
What happened to wolfy's foot? I'm guessing she got it amputated in a trap, poor thing. It looks healed. But it's hard to walk on it without toes. It seemed to still bother her a bit. It must be harder to catch prey too.
This is wonderful. Some Coyotes want to be pets, especially if they have an injury. She lost her toes in a trap. Poor girl. Trapping should be outlawed. There is a coyote who comes into my yard and even lays down like a dog. He or she has an injured hind foot or leg. I feed it.
Gosh,just seeing all these beautiful videos. I can tell you that coyote is half domestic..not pure coyote. Characteristically the breed is showing. Thankyou for sharing. Following...
Beautiful couple She can everyday found another coyote but she want him . Sad that he hold back But unfortunately her frontleg s not ok . Hope she hasnt pain
Coyotes have long ears and a skinny snout. This is a small wolf, it has wolf ears. Where did it come from? This is not a coyote or if it is, it's not pure. Maybe a hybrid.
@@marklagace5728 We got -35 once in Glens Falls but that was the all time record, it goes to -40 a few miles north of there in the Adirondacks but nobody lives up there.
have they ever checked whether coyotes were originally tamed dogs that went back to being feral 75000 years ago? they can mate with dogs and their offspring can mate - they live easily amongst us - sometimes their interactions reflect genetic memories more than pure instinct...
Coyotes are an American canine that goes back 1.8 million years in America only, there were no people of any sort in America until 15,000 years ago, definitely none 1.8 million years ago. So no, coyotes are a totally wild animal and they are NOT wolves which came here from Asia.
@@marklagace5728 I have also have a Husky mix who is comfortable playing with and attempting to mate with the Eastern Coyotes here too. I'm forming a half-baked theory about the Husky-ness being a factor that both the dog and the coyote understand. Mine was feral in the Appalachian mountains for his first two years and that may play a part. Thanks for this fascinating video.
IKR Guys: Why can’t girls make the first move? Lady coyote: HELLO take me plz Doggo lad: Ah yes hello my friend would you care for some platonic frolicking?
So her paw was hurt in a trap?... did she get out of it herself or did you save her from it? I'm wondering if that's why she's so at ease around you... And I wonder if her her pack was killed, do you see of hear any other coyotes near you?
Yes but there far up the hill in the woods come out some times but she wont let them near Rocky she will fight if they du .Her territory is at my house now .I found her like that couple years ago her paw was missing.
