Originally from central North America, coyotes are among the top predators in the United States. They have thrived, spreading across the continent, preying on rural livestock, and scavenging all the way to urban areas-there have been sightings of the canine in New York City's Central Park. Researchers are studying clashes between the predator and humans while keeping in mind that humans have provided the settings for coyotes to live comfortably. This film by filmmaker Priya Shelly sheds light on North America's coyote dilemma and how human activities and attitudes created and define the problem.

I live in Eastern Montana, land very scarce of humans and very full of mother nature's creatures, I'm a very avid outdoorsman, lucky enough to have a job that I get to spend every day in the field and every weekend on my personal time my dog and I spend it hiking, snowshoeing, camping everywhere I can... I've had encounters with every living creature under the sun and stars... Being mindful of our surroundings and having a respectful relationship with our surroundings is healthy to our soul, it's a balance to our existence and the existence of mother nature's creatures... I'm not against wildlife management, I'm not against farmers, ranchers protecting their investments... But being educated in how to coexist together and being humans that we are.. Were the ones that have to manage ourselves and the environment around us... Were the only creature to have this type of intelligence and we decide how we use it... I chose to live among mother nature and I chose how I react in my environment, I chose to coexist with my surroundings, it's my choice to do the right thing or the wrong thing, upset the balance of nature or live in the balance of nature, its my choice... I choose to be among nature and try my best to leave this earth with as little guilt as possible....
Jungle Book movie precisely summarizes it: We(the mankind) keeps on building man villages, isolating ourselves from the nature...forgetting that once we were also a part of this wild life. 😥 And just because we invented guns, and could protect ourselves behind the walls -- we have no right to control the nature according to our needs and customization. 😔
Kitty S spot on.
Kitty S In nature, there's always competition and conflict, and each one has it's enemy. In the case of Homo sapiens, that includes the flea the rat and the coyote. They are not inconvenienced by human development, quite the opposite, and are too large a predator to be skulking around residential areas. You are too naïve.
+Muffinmanerino Ealgerino Yes, we get it how America was built: killing, raping, enslaving, owning....
+Laurens D This planet was already customized for the mankind: the air we breathe, the food and water resources we intake.... and we need more customization? Like, a big bungalow in the wild for two person? It's called 'greed' not customization. Humans want to customize? Do it on the Mars. Our customization has destroyed this planet(the only planet we know of sustaining life). 😥
+Laurens D We can't be compared with the bears, we were blessed with the intelligence for a reason -- but sadly, the so called non-intelligent species are way more caring and giving back to this planet than us(humans). What have we given back to this planet? Even a tiny shrimp cleans and purifies the water.... we just love to take take and take... and not just what's needed, but in enormous amount. What's going to be left for the future generations? A dying planet, forcing them to seek other planet. We just love to take things for granted. It's as simple as that. 😥
They're some of the smartest and adaptive animals anywhere in the world.There's so many of the them that all you can do is try your best at keeping your animals safe.I live on PEI , Canada and we're 6-8 miles from the mainland and they would walk across the ice to get here.I swear it's the only animal that looks both ways before it crosses the road lol.
Wait coyotes or whatever they are called actually follow traffic rules
@@sans4124 yes
Hey! Fellow Canadian and half Islander here! My mom's side of the family is from Bedeque near Summerside and we cottage there in the summer
who else came for the thumbnail baby coyotes?
This is the national geographic I have been looking for
What's the difference between this and what you don't like?
David S. No nature/animals
You don't like the transgender pandering Nat Geo. Showing children that haven't hit puberty that it's normal to believe your something that you biologically are not.
Chesapeake Wood A person's personality, interests and biology not aligning with social expectations is one definition of abnormal. I think a better definition of abnormal pertains to rarity. When you look at only the numbers, these kids are not abnormal. According to the UCLA School of Law, approximately 9 million Americans identify as LGBT. That's roughly the population of NJ. I wouldn't call that rare.
A person not fitting-in because their personality, interests, ect. "doesn't align" with their biological sex is a lifestyle many people share. In the past (and still today), these individuals have been killed, tortured and exiled simply because they are perceived as weird. There is literally nothing wrong with them other than a possible identity crisis or state of depression imposed on them by the influences of others.
Isn't it time we face the facts and accept that these kids aren't the ones that are misaligned. What's wrong with Nat Geo showing everyone that "transgender" kids are as normal and human as anyone else? What's wrong with showing these kids that they aren't alone?
David S. What I meant is that this is the type of content that the channel should air, National Geographic was founded to show and educate about nature trough documentaries and photographs. I just think that sociology is not for this channel unless you are showing some particular tribes. I'm not arguing about whether or not all the genders discussions is "right or wrong"
This is a great education, Coyotes are now in my urban area, hazing works, they eat rats and mice, and dear. which are over populating. So thanks NG.
Coyotes are part of the natural environment and need to be respected for the good they do in maintaining the balance of our delicate natural environment just as the wolves in Canada. The lesson learned in Canada was that wolves were needed to help preserve the ecosystem re preventing over grazing by deer. Coyotes serve a purpose and we need to look at what that is rather than trying to wipe them out completely only to regret that decision years from now!
16:20 "Wildlife management is really a misnomer - it's about managing people." Nuff said.
the coyotes are honestly without a doubt my favorite animal. i actually believe i was a yote in my past life.
Look up therians if you belive your a coyote in ur past life bc im the same way
You aren’t alone friend
@@youraveragegamergirl87 yoo me toooo
Lol , they mad at Coyotes for being Coyotes.
These researchers seem very intelligent and balanced. I think this kind of behavior is needed with all the current issues, like refugees, climate change, and so on. A balanced view, where the points of both parties are recognized, instead of siding with one party and insulting the other one - that will just result in extremism, and everyone will lose.
I kinda wish all people are like this; balanced. I myself don't love coyotes the way I adore wolves, but I don't want them exterminated either way! Like some of the sheep herders on this vid, I don't wish to outright kill them, but make them understand that they're not welcome in human habitats.
This really seems to be a problem in today’s society. Nobody’s willing to take the time to try and compromise. We’ve developed an extremely harmful “you’re either with us or against us” mentality.
Amazing cinematography, good shit Nat Geo
You cannot get rid of coyotes, because when you hunt them they go into colonization mode,and have bigger litters and more frequent, they can thrive in packs but if pressured they disband the pack and spread out into breeding pairs have more litters. Hunting them in the west is why they're in all 49 states now. Hunting has the opposite effect
7:50 If you just want to see cute coyote pups
Nikola Tesla thx
I bought one of your cars dude.
thanks, mate...just want to see the positive.
I believe it's pronounced ky-o-tee. At least that's what we call em in New Mexico where they're native to. That aside, nice video.
It varies from area to area, "Coytees", is from the S.W. Indigenous peoples, then the Spanish picked that up when they settled those territories. In our area, unless people were brought up on "Roadrunner" cartoons It's Coyote, with the silent "e". I've lived all over N.America and it's variable as to the pronunciation. Both are acceptable to the areas lingua franca (common speech).
You just can't stop the circle of life
Nice documentary :)
in Philippines, it's called Sayote. like papaya 😆
The predator "problem" is about money. The only human that needs animal agriculture is the rancher to make money and they want to do it as economically as possible. They have herds bigger than they can manage and protect. As far as not wanting to kill, you only have to search through youtube to find exuberant coyote hunters.
How foolish. What do you eat every day? I make enough money to sustain my stock and feed myself. Too many coyotes here. And when they trespass the hammer will fall.
Then whats the coyotes supposed to eat? A whooper?
XD idk what they think there going to do.
Coyotes eat naturally similar to what wild wolves eat, yet they are more like opportune scavengers. Rabbit, birds, carrion... etc. They don't normally hunt in packs unless tricking big game or wolves/dogs with one acting as 'bait' leading them into a trap. I've done a lot of research on wolves so I know a thing or two about coyotes. This video was a nice information bonus! :)
Not my livestock. Not my sheep.
Coyotes are omnivores too
coyotes are more important then people...
"than" :::shaking head:::
no living creature is worth more then another living creature
@@Seabass1206, it depends on who is determining value.
Think about this: If God did not intend for us to eat meat, why did he make it taste so good?
@@Just_Pele yeah lol your self if you have a problem with others living
Ky-oats
Zach Serino This looks like Montana or Wyoming It's the only place I have been where I have seen ant envelope. Hen I lived in Tucson, in the foothills north of town, coyotes were killing pet cats.You let the pets out for a few minutes in a fenced backyard, seconds later the animal was gone. Coyotes are everywhere in the West, even in the LA basin.
I was thinking more like Ka-yoats
yea wtf is it with ppl sayin kayoute these dats?
this movie is incredibly soothing
Craziest thing i ever seen coyote wise was a mother denned up inside the cavity of a dead cow on the back of the farm🤢 the puppies were covered in rotten slop. Still cute af.
the way they say coyotes though... i know the way we say it in canada is different, but it's funny hearing them say it like that.
You don't get rid of Coyotes by killing them , because the female will produce MORE pups IF the numbers are low ! That's one reason they howl , It's a roll call, if all of them don't report , female will produce MORE pups !
I am all for letting nature be, but those who love them until they loose a cat or family pet to them. control in numbers is a need.
The coyote are outsmarting the ranchers and bounty hunters.
I live in California. I have two coyotes living in the field behind me in my residential neighborhood. On the other side of the empty field is a farm. One of the coyotes got into the field where the farm is and the great Pyrenees dog patrolling the farm chased the coyote off. It was amazing to watch. I was hoping the dog didn’t harm the coyote, as well as the coyote didn’t harm the farm animals. It all turned out good.
i love coyotes :3
coyotes are smart no doubt
Great Pyrenees are great at keeping the coyotes away... Just know they're gonna do it by barking. A lot.
Masca Trails better than ripping them to shreds tho! I love coyotes!
Maybe introduce wild goats? It could give the coyotes prey, so they're not focusing on the sheep - I don't know. I'm no expert, but I don't think bounty hunting helps the issue.
It's not really a lack of prey. Its more that the farm sheep/goats are Easy prey. Large herds? Check. Always in the same place? Check.
That's why a lot of times ranchers do send alpacas or dogs with them to help haze the coyote off of this prey. We want them going after harder prey like rabbits or even deer herds.
7:42 this is why i clicked the vid, but it was a great vid overall
Coyotes help keep down the feral cat menace. Feral cats are the greatest nemesis to majestic birds of prey.
No lives are yours but your own, No animal 'belongs' to you. That's what is simple as it is.
Humans are animals that are superior so we don't really care sheeps are our food not yours coyotes go find dears or rabbits etc we worked to enslave them
Can y'all do a similar bit on Eastern Coyotes
Theres nothing to be done. These are vermin and they're hybrids with wolves.
your land nope it ain't ur land it's their land they were well there before you guys came an fenced off the land
OMG! Would anyone else pay to sit in that to snuggle those coyote pups?
what these bounty people dont understand is that some hunters torture the animals before killing them
Have you seen them do this?
anyone know the outro music
The real issue is Humans have so successfully separated themselves from nature and yet deem themselves above it. We have also spread into every wild space and over burdened the natural habitats so only humans, their cattle, pets and the species that have exploited human activity--all other species are expendable.
10:10 "Animal liberation front"
Lmao.....
Coyotes are harmless. I've seen many of them up close. They just run away.
Yes,they have a natural fear of humans
I have never seen a live Coyote, but Foxes will look at you and run away. Exterminating any animal is absolutely wrong, but controlling the population maybe a good idea. Control yet protect.
You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.
To be honest humans are meriful they one hit ko them
Get shepherding dog or llamas! It will fix that problem.
wich part of the USA is this ?
Mr T this is Colorado but they are present all over the US. Specially in the west.
Can't have it two ways.
Build a Wall ! Thats what you are good at !
The trick is to stop enslaving those poor sheep. Problems solved.
Yeah some idiot's don't understand that eating animals brings balance to the eco system
@@sans4124 The same thing is saying eating humans brings balance to an ecosystem.
@@uppertributaries True, there are too many humans. We should hunt and eat them.
@@gertrude574 I've seen a few that look pretty tasty.
For real.
Since this video was produced, donkeys have become much more popular for protecting livestock against coyotes. They have a lot of advantages over dogs.
Hunting Coyotes in Nebraska with Greyhounds while growing up was one of the greatest gifts my parents gave me.
Now, with little fur market, their population dwindles and most have mange
If you have livestock on the land, you should have cowboys/ shepherds/ sheep-herd(er)s out there with them. Can't just expect to have an apex-predator-free healthy ecology
Try a protection dog, like a "Pyrenees"...much cheaper, and infinitely more practical.
why they do not use sheep dog
yeah to coyoties I love them as an annimal. I wish we humans could help them.
Dont think so. Leave them alone. Seriously how much can they eat. They also run off mountain lions. You know nothing about our ecosystem.
I live in a big city and across the street from a pack of coyotes. I like coyotes. Unfortunately, they eat pets in addition to pests.
No u are wrong they are ok coyote are fine in there way I live in the high desert in the California it’s amazing how they could be mistakenly I have been following a couple how eventually are going to have there off spring coming up in next month with is in between march and the beginning of April I love them so much I see them we just need to understand that they need to survive and Iet them
Do what is important to there need!,,,,
It's funny how they say Khai-Oats not Khai-oyy-tees ya know? Never knew Wyoming had an accent :)
We say it like that here in Utah as well.
Nevada here, we say kay-oat too as a matter of fact that’s actually the annunciation. The coyote started in the west too soo I mean..
‘Cayotes’ ( pronounced Kai yotes) is just a ‘short name’, slang or nickname for coyotes.
Hypocrisy
Imagine saying Keyeoat...
3:00 The sheep are not YOUR animals - humans can never OWN any living creature.
Yes we can we are
Wall
Donkeys can help too
Return wolves to their homes, coyote natural predator.
People, return to hunting and gathering.
They did this experiment in Yellowstone. Results have been catastrophic. They set off the ecosystem so much that within a few years rivers disappeared!
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 the eco- system is typical upset by human interference - nature ‘usually’ finds its own balance best when left a lone. Is that what you are saying? (I got a bit confused about your point - sorry. My bad.)
@@goneridin2 Any eco-system is naturally (not typically) upset by the introduction of any foreign living creature in it (humans are just one example of living creature).
My point was: if they introduced wolves with the intent of limiting the population of coyotes, that wouldn't be the only result, wolves will change the balance of the ecosystem in many other aspects with many other not necessarily desirable results. It's something that have been tried before and it failed so that's not the solution to reducing coyotes population.
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 I think we are referencing the same point. I was trying to clarify your meaning which seemed to be a bit vague or confusing to me. If people would stop trying to ‘manage’ (poorly, I might add) nature, it would eventually balance itself. Rather than killing animals or artificially injecting another predator (which incidentally also hunts livestock) it would be better to buy some llamas or Newfoundland or Great Pyrenees (not sure which breed does best) to protect the livestock and encourage the coyotes to hunt other wild prey.

Kay-oats giving these ppl a run for their money lol
She said it they turn coyote land into oasis
Goddamn kay-otes took mah sheep
uyyy küçük coyotem benim
Zlota Cartman Yea
Get a Kangal..
And do not harm sheep, because there are smart giving all, to be in pain shaved, to have them come to from grief of being trapped, and harmed, have them killed. No no
Yes yes we eat sheep's because we want to eat because we want to live and no vegetables are not an option sheep's give us cloth and meat we need it because we need it
Geez Americans
If they hate these coyotes
They must hate the ones that bring illegal immigrants.
wild puppy are still puppy just wild version
Do coyotes just kill for fun? As they eill kill a dog or lamb and just leave it..
These sheep owners are rediculous, stop killing coyotes
"Shortfilm"
Fed coyote vegan for dogs, does not klll and is smarter, and can be let out, same as sheep, and they offer, then, some wall, or some milk, not have us for makers of concentration camp
Coyote birth control darts?
killkill120 now we're thinking!!!
For many years farmers and ranchers knew how to keep the numbers manageable. Then people started to move onto many acreages in rural areas. The new population of people actually fought against what was going on and did not understand the reality of it. They do not understand the threat of an overpopulation of coyotes. Would you want packs of feral dogs roaming the area killing everything in sight. When they start to roam in packs is when the trouble starts. They will take any thing that is in their area when in packs. If they can take down young horses , cattle, deer and sheep , they can easily take your dogs, cats, kids and people.
People don't understand how smart and adaptable they are. We left them alone until they started to run in packs and then you have to thin them out or else. When they get high enough numbers in cities you will be in trouble. When they start to run in packs people will die. They go after the easy kill first and move up the chain.
You need wolves, to balance the population.
My dream is to work with National Geographic. Anyone else?
I hate the way they pronounce coyote. I know it's a southern thing, but it's still wrong. Look up the pronunciation
Wyoming is not in the south
Enjoy hunting them. So smart.
They are just too cute for me to kill. They look too much like dogs. if they were killing my sheep...maybe I'd change my mind.
The finding of the research, as I understood it, is to haze or scare them off (it’s easy to do) so they will stick to hunting wildlife rather than domestic animals. Place alpacas or llamas(?) or domestic dogs with the herd of smaller livestock to deter the coyotes interested in the livestock. It seems pretty simple. I know people who have reportedly done this quite successfully.
They not just look like dogs, they are dogs themselves
I always feed the yotes...LEAD! And I like them more than all the other animals cause they are worth 50 to 60.00 a head. Got some or too many? Send them to Roy's Coyote Care Center...I will give them all they deserve.
In areas where coyotes are a real problem, trap some of the local resident coyotes, expose them to virulent strains of canine distemper and/or parvo, turn them loose to return to their packs.
Won't get all of them but it will wipe out a large enough number to make a difference. Especially if it is done when they have dens and litters.
That is incredibly cruel and inhumane.
You are sick.
