They were never helping they coyote. They just thought they were because people are ignorant (in general), and don't teach their children not to interact with predators who have been known to savagely rip the throats out of human children of that age group and below.
@@Lawsonomy1 No they wont, lmao, kids older than 3 they're too big for a coyote. There's only ever been two recorded humans killed by coyotes in the US or Canada. They're 25lb scavengers. They rarely bite people, but when they do its almost always small children.
As a zookeeper, the real answer is that the coyote is likely going to be killed either by this dad or by Fish and Wildlife for the state. They take these kind of animal interactions very seriously.
Yup. Its so frustrating how people spread fear and myths about coyotes. They don't "lure dogs", they don't attack people unless something is extremely wrong, but they are overpopulated pests.
My hound blinks like Kyle in your animation! I call it her 'blink blonk'. Thank you for representing really stoopid, lizard-eyed dogs. A true hero. Bless🙏
@lila mansilla Coyotes, like Kyle, can grow dependent on the food they receive, due to their pattern learning nature. While the feeding of some animals such as birds and squirrels is more widely practiced, these animals can overcome their dependence in times of need. Coyotes must maintain a sizable hunting ground and must move to where food is abundant. When a coyote is dependent on a human source of food they can not shake this dependency due to a loss of territory and a failure to move. In Kyle's case, it appears that he could not have been more unlucky. It sounds like Kyle was cut off from the boys' feeding habits in late fall to mid-winter, meaning Kyle was not familiar enough with local prey and was not able to adapt from his easy meal habits during Minnesota's harsh winters. While 2016 was a 'warmer' winter by Minnesota standards, the state experienced high precipitation in several areas. The poor pup was very likely dealing with freezing rain on top his dependency :/ Please always consult someone knowledgable about your local ecosystem before interacting with animals. Additionally, while in many places you are allowed to feed certain animals, please be aware that this may have farther reaching consequences. Thank You.
@@anthonygrant4413 ah common sense. Aka whatever wrong thing everyone is doing must be right! Also it literally doesn't get more common sense than "don't feed coyotes" and yet...
This clip is so depressing to listen to as a wildlife rescue worker. They've killed that coyote, whether it's the slow way or the fast. Wild animals are wild.
i mean of course you can domesticate them, but you can't half-ass it. either you take over as its parent permanently, or you leave it alone. it'd be one thing if the coyote was mutually sharing HIS kills with you. then it's even steven.
@@KairuHakubi Hi wildlife rescue person here who has worked with coyotes, you are very misinformed to think coyotes are domesticatable in any sense and please stop saying this to people as you are doing damage. We have a coyote here that wouldn't survive in the wild, named Yodi. Been with humans from a young age, years and years, as "domesticated" as you might get. And he still sent somebody to the ER last year when they approached him wrong. The bite went down to bone. Wild carnivores are not pets. It's morally reprehensible (and illegal) to keep a coyote as a pet. Even if you're just feeding a wild one - coyotes do not understand you're their friend, they just learn "human = food". Which means they lose their fear of humans, and get mad when the random people they encounter don't also give them food like you did. Which then ends with the coyote being shot by animal control. This scenario plays out all the time and it makes us tear our hair out. The only "domesticated" coyotes that are kept are ones that are kept because they won't be able to survive in the wild. They're taken care of by professionals and they have a liscense to do it.
@@KairuHakubi I assume you know better than the zookeeper down the thread as well who said the same thing as I did? After all, you know better than people with education and experience in the field! Bet you've got some doubts about the globe earth too, huh? You must feel great having that expansive of a brain, I'm jealous. I didn't say I was an expert, I said I've worked with coyotes and have professional wildlife training. Have you? Because it sounds more like you're just some overconfident jackass. This comment is kind of hilarious. How exactly do you think evolution works? A wolf farted one day and magically turned into a pug? You think wolves didn't bite or attack people in the thousands of years it took them to evolve into dogs? Turn your brain on. You're saying coyotes should be interacted with even though they will get shot promptly, because maybe their corpses will reproduce and in hundreds or thousands of years they'll be nicer. Genius! oh hey whats this over here *The Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, is a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria. Because they are unaware of their deficiencies, such people generally assume that they are not deficient, in keeping with the tendency of most people to “choose what they think is the most reasonable and optimal option.” It has long been attested in common saying -e.g., “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge” (Charles Darwin).*
Unfortunately the Coyote was likely killed. Typically once a wild animal starts behaving like that it is very hard to make it go back to a regular way of life. R.I.P Kyle
this was the bit that got me invested in mbmbam for the long haul (to be fair, this was also the first ep i listened to). I love how Kyle is represented here (as well as the rest of the family)
👏CALL👏ANIMAL👏 CONTROL👏 Don't take that shit into your own hands. Call someone and let professionals decide what to do with the WILD animal. It doesn't always end in the animal being put down! And then ground your sons FOR-EV-ER. Fantastic animatic, dude!
Wonderful. WONDERFUL. Thanks to that frame with the coyote on the toilet, I had liquid mocha spontaneously travel up and out of my mouth and nasal passages and onto my desk. %*@(ING THANK YOU

This was such a good bit and you knocked it out of the park with this animatic! I love how you did the intro and kept all the random sounds the brothers were making
call animal control ya nut jobs.. its a coyote.. i literally just woke up the other day to the sound of a pack eating a little girls dog as she screamed and cried..
King_Slimy Coyotes are very intelligent and social creatures. They just want to survive and be happy like everything else. Would you like it if an alien thought you were annoying and decided to murder everyone you loved with brutal traps and poisons? Our eradication efforts have pushed them to be more bold and adapt to colonize new areas quickly in an effort to survive. If we stopped, their population would stabilize and they would go back to normal. Coyotes deserve protection and understanding, not persecution.
@@somer4213 none of what you said changes the fact they are vermin and invasive Do you know how you a achive a stable population? By killing the extra. Or there are too many of them and they starve to death and ruin local ecosystems. A bullet is kinder than that.
Rabies can make a wild animal friendly, but an afflicted animal won't survive a winter. Coyotes are smart; I think Kyle learned to duck up to humans who were feeding it.
The intro music is the theme song to the podcast throwing shade on the ear wolf network. They run adds on mbmbam cause they used to be on the same podcast network (max fun). The add leads into the real clip, I when I was making the animatic I decided to keep the some of the lead in music cause it sounded nice.
I think the wife and father should’ve just joined in feeding it so it knew not to attack them either. Then stopped feeding it once the weather returned to a better situation. I know nothing about coyotes and I live in a warm climate where winter isn’t such a big deal, so idk how realistic that would be, but if they’re attached to the coyote I’d rather not traumatise the boys by killing it. I’d have thought they could just relocate the coyote? Surely there’d be someone you could contact and just leave out the part about having fed it and just say it’s been hanging around, right? Or are coyotes considered pests? Idk. I just feel like there’d be ways around killing it if they tried. Maybe they could even relocate it themselves since they know it trusts the boys and goes after food they leave. Easy to set a trap for it in some rented trailer and go on a road trip? I feel like I’m getting absurd but it seems unreasonable to kill the animal when it’s only in that situation because the humans made it feel safe hanging around.
That's a really dumb idea. The reason the coyote got aggressive is because it sees the food as his. There's nothing you can do once it's having those sorts of interactions with people. The boys shouldn't have fed it, because now the Coyote pretty much has to die. It's a wild animal, not a fucking pet. It isn't placid and will attack people, even if you're "nice" to it.
I’m not American and I’m not sure I really know what a coyote even looks like (I thought they were rather small for wild dogs and didn’t usually bother people), but I’d have thought the aggression was just because it was a wild dog who didn’t know the mother. I knew coyotes could get aggressive but thought they didn’t usually bother people (I actually thought they were more of an issue for small pets, like cats or chihuahuas or chickens). Are coyotes inherently aggressive with people or just when fed? I wasn’t suggesting they hand feed it like a pet or something, because obviously that’d be dangerous. I thought it might help if it could just see she wasn’t a threat like how it seems to leave the boys. He seemed to think the coyote’s big issue was that it became reliant on the food and couldn’t leave, so I still think it was dumb to feed it at all but it seems like the boys weren’t attacked by it, despite approaching it on multiple occasions, and the coyote might be more willing to leave in warmer weather if they stop feeding it while there’s no food around. You think it attacked her specifically because she had food? You’re sure it would continue attacking people even if moved somewhere where it had other options? I hesitate to judge wild animals too quickly, despite thinking they’re obviously dangerous and people generally shouldn’t take risks with them; I’ve seen footage of a guy playing in the water with a crocodile friend, and they’re killing machines that are not even mammals, so I’m not sure the coyote shouldn’t be given a chance if it’s safe enough to do so. For all we know, it would’ve been more willing to resume normal behaviour if it had access to food elsewhere and wasn’t desperate. I understand why a coyote interacting with people like this would normally be a black and white situation of killing it, but this isn’t a normal situation because the coyote has found its self in a desperate situation with limit options, so may be acting in ways it wouldn’t if not so desperate. If he doesn’t want to hurt the coyote, which the boys are attached to, and the coyote wouldn’t leave them be because it had become reliant in the winter, then I don’t see why relocating it wouldn’t at least be worth a shot. If coyotes are more dangerous than I’d previously been led to believe then I get it and only wonder why the father bothered waiting this long.
The problem is that the coyote has learned to associate humans with food, and is too acclimated to human presence. Even if relocated, it would seek out humans and try to get food from them like it has learned it can. I don’t know how big a coyote is either, but even mid size dogs can do some real damage to an adult, and could potentially kill a child.
Although I still think it’s possible the coyote would just go find it’s own food if future humans did not give it any and other food sources were available (even if other coyotes wouldn’t), I do understand it’s really not worth the risk to other people’s safety to make that gamble.
You realise that's exactly what this is, right? It's animation without the tweening. Just because they don't intend on fully animating it does not mean it's not an animatic.
@@madelinebitts2766 you fail to realize that animation is not just tweening and that animatics hold the purpose of making an animation and that without the intent of finishing it it's a slide show
Feed the poor coyote. Its been reduced to a starving dog since it has begun to rely on the children. You know how to get a pet ANYTHING? Feed it regularly and it will respect you. One of the only exceptions is cats because of a chemical imbalance in their brains, causing them to be in a constant state of tripping balls. If your house cat was large enough, it would eat you. Granted a coyote would probably eat you anyway. At least it's *a* coyote, and not *a pack of* coyotes.
