Taylor Mitchell - Canadian country folk singer and songwriter who died at the age of 19 of injuries and blood loss after two eastern coyotes mauled her
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.
Yeah they're big, but they don't turn very quickly. If the coyotes can draw blood, they'd be able to make the moose bleed out eventually.
Also, there was an article like a decade ago about America's coyotes and one phrase really stuck with me: canis soup. The researchers used the term to describe all the interbreeding that was occurring with coyotes, wolves, and domestic/tame dogs. I only point this out to say that the 'coyotes' in this story may have had some wolf or pitbull in them.
