Here's a great article about coyotes. I didn't know they usually pair up for life, but if one dies the other one will search out a new mate. I saw the coyotes pictured below on my drive to Denver a couple of days ago. There were three of them playing in a meadow. They looked like they were chasing some small animals. They'd jump up and pounce on the ground similar to how a cat might do. It was fun to watch. I rarely get to see coyotes. I hear them around my cabin sometimes and I've seen one a few times, but I always enjoy a sighting of these beautiful wild dogs.
On the news recently a lot of people have expressed anger about the coyotes encroaching on their suburban homes and killing small pets. I don't know what the answer is. I wish the coyotes could be relocated to an area where they'd have food, shelter and enjoyment. I don't like to see them be looked at as villains.
