Well fed on cats and garbage. I think the city people are over-exaggerating over a well fed coyote. If it tried to eat your dog, you probably thought it looked like bigfoot at the time.
We have one that hangs around our business on 310 in South Dallas. Dad saw him last about 3 weeks ago at 10 in the morning. I saw him back in May up close as he wandered about 20ft on the other side of the chain-link fence on my neighbors property in the brush. He's pretty random and I've never been able to get a shot at the fucker. He's pretty skinny even though there's a bunch of rabbits out there. The problem I have is that he comes up from the back of the property, up to the front and wanders around between our buildings with our employees. One employees claims to have yelled at it in an attempt to startle it and chase it away. He said it simply turned his head at him, snarled a bit, turned and kept walking. |

Funny..."The wildlife was desperate." "It was looking for food."
Make no mistake, that's not desperation, that's an intelligent, opportunistic wild animal that's found easy meals. We've pretty much given up on having housecats around our rural home. Coyotes make short work of them. So keep you're defenseless lap dogs in the house. ...and the purported size sounds like a fishing story. |

I live in Lakewood in Dallas. We have a pack of well fed Yotes that migrate up the creek line
from White Rock lake and roam throughout our neighborhood eating Cats. I've seen them probably 10 times this year at night and have videos of them too. Biggest one is easily 60lbs. They walk right down the middle of my street at night on their way back to the creek like they own the place. Our female neighbors are absolutely petrified of them. |

We used to have a lot of Coyotes in my neighborhood... I'd see them at night when I was going to/from the hospital.
Haven't seen any in a while... I don't know if they've been hunted/trapped, or if construction has pushed them further out of the hood, but I know there are fewer of them. Because I'm seeing rabbits now, and the occasional cat. |

Saw two in Plano a few years ago that looked like GSD's. Also saw one that was hit by a car on 423 in Little Elm that looked every bit as big as my sister's yellow lab.
Here is one of the airport yotes.

That is crazy big.
We have a rat population of unbelievably epic proportions up here in North Texas so I expect the yotes will be fat and in a reproductive mood for awhile. |

Funny you mention that, we saw a rat in our back yard the other day. Standing out there cleaning the pool filter, talking to my wife and all of the sudden she looks past me and says "What the fuck??". I turn around and there's a rat running down the fence going from the street to the back yard between the houses. First time I've seen a rat in the wild in my 47 years. This is out in Murphy, solid suburbia. |

I think I'm up to about 17 in the last 3-4 weeks and I was out of town, traps not set, for a week. The rats are alive and well and dying in my attic about 6AM every morning. Sounds like a giant staple gun going off. Who does #2 work for? First time ever to lead of pg 2!

UPDATE Went for a midnight bike ride tonight and came face to face with my neighborhood "SUPER COYOTE." This one was the size of an intermediate to large German Shepard. I'd guess around 80lbs. He ran straight down the middle of a well lit street for about 2 blocks before he darted off between two houses. It's crazy how big they get around here in a central Dallas. |

The coyotes around White Rock Lake in Dallas are larger due to genetics and availability of food. More importantly it has been proven that many North Texas coyotes are Red Wolf x Coyote hybrids and are larger than coyotes found elsewhere. This has been scientifically documented and would encourage anyone interested to read this scientific paper on it written by famous coyote/wolf researcher David Mech:
