You're viewing a single thread.
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??
Probably similar to wolves, run it down till its too tired to fight, bite the legs till it can't support its own weight and them go for the throat.
It's how they do with deer, I'm sure it would work on a moose. Bite and run bite and run.
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!!
As another poster already commented these coyotes were a much bigger breed than your typical coyote
okay but surely the coyotes weren't bigger than a moose. A moose can be bigger than a truck.
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.
Has anyone ever caught that on video?? A pitbull dog fucking a coyote? 😳
No, but I got this sweet video of a coyote fucking a pit bull! /s
Watched a video of a single wolverine taking down a grown reindeer. It was brutal, took some time, but the little guy won.
(Don't watch that if you're not accustomed to nature "red in tooth and claw".)
They chase it to exhaustion.
So again habitat loss caused by humans, ffs.
Crazy to think that the coyotes got swole, bascially
