[blockquote]One of my fathers friend had a Saint Bernard killed and eaten by about 4 coyotes[/blockquote] WOW! That's disturbing. ---- [blockquote]Brad nice pics of the coyote I agree it's a numbers game thats why coyotes & wolves will lure a dog into chasing them so they can gang up and eat them with little risk for them and little chance for the dog luckily they are usually not to bold or they would be much more of a problem...[/blockquote] Exactly! That has always been my concern with my dogs - our Shikoku LOVE to play with dogs and our Kai are very curious... I just worry a Coyote may lure them out like that and have their way with them. I guess the same applies to our Akita, they would chase one off just the same [but not with the intent to play]. I just feel better knowing Luytiy is on the job and keeping them away - the Coyote don't want any part of BIG L, so they just stay away. I would never want him to actually kill one - I'm not really interested in anything getting killed. I just want them to stay away from my property. If it came to it tho, I am sure he would "BRING IT". (Family Guy quote) [blockquote]I got some video you can hear them howling at the lake I just got to find it and a black wolf picture I took outside of Jasper Alberta it was crossing the road at first I thought it was a black bear.[/blockquote] I have a night video of some Coyote taunting our females when they were in heat. Kona our Kai Ken was PISSED. The Coyotes were in our yard then jumped the 6 foot fence and just sat on the other side "talking" at our girls who were in the house - it was summer so the windows were open. When our females go into heat (our Akita) we have actually had some male Coyotes jumping at the screens of our open windows of our HOUSE! Kinda creepy! here is the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DSEfIGgpG4 [blockquote]This is picture of a black Canadian Wolf I saw Jan 27 2007 it was walking across the road at first I thought it was a black bear, it is in the bush in the middle [/blockquote] That's a big wolf! Canadian and Rocky Mountain wolves are huge! There is something about a black wolf that just gives the impression of power. So cool (and majestic). ----
