Around here, coyotes are just starting to be a problem for farmers but these pretty animals are not liked at all by the cattle and sheep farmers.  Some use donkeys as the best deterrent.  Donkeys get really aggressive and go after the coyote.

Doe anyone have a picture of a wild coyote?

I had a chance to get one photo but got a nice turkey shot instead.  This critter was close, about 40 feet away. But I missed the shot in shadows.

Coyotes range from Alaska to Central America and among the variations of the species I would still call this "prairie wolf" as something much larger than a fox and smaller than a wolf.  Around here, these are loners and not in packs.  I am more fearful of feral dogs than a coyote but do respect all wild creatures and give them the room they deserve.  
( We pronounce the name like this: ki-oat,  long "i" an oat as in oats, the grain.)

Just a shot in the dark..got that picture? If so, plese let me know.      TomD'Art.
