In 2022 a study by Stan Gehrt, wildlife ecologist at Ohio State University, was released that revealed the coyotes had been living on a diet of moose rather than their typical diet of smaller animals. It was concluded that the unavailability of smaller prey led the coyotes to become accustomed to large targets leading them to see the young woman as a potential food source.
Fascinating read, albeit sad
How do coyotes take down a moose? Even if there's 5 of them??
Crack cocaine, my friend.
How do I eat a whole rotisserie chicken by myself? When you get hangry, you find a way. Thank you Jeebus!!
They chase it to exhaustion.
So again habitat loss caused by humans, ffs.
Crazy to think that the coyotes got swole, bascially
I'm checking out her album now. I really like the first track, Don't Know How I Got Here.
Dogs are far and away the #1 reason I carry in the woods. We got black bears and panthers, not too worried. Not even sure there's ever been a recorded attack in my county. Oddly, I've never seen a coyote, but hear them in the distance every time I camp. Never imagined they would jump a human.
Dogs OTHO? There was a pit bouncing around my front porch the other night. I have a giant dog door for the pig, so I jumped back inside and grabbed the single-shot shotty over the door. Turns out he was just a dumb puppy running around with a young couple and their kids. I cannot describe my relief.
