500 Questions
Will coyotes come after your dogs in their dog pen?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, coyotes will break into pens that hold rabbits. Even if they can't break in, coyotes will be attracted by the rabbits and they will pace around outside the pen -- this is terrifying to rabbits, and can lead to death by shock/heart attack.
Predators like coyotes are one of many risks inherent in keeping rabbits outside. If you keep your rabbits outside, you must protect them from the risks. If you aren't able to adequately protect them, you must keep them inside or find someone who can keep them safe (re-home them).
It isn't fair to keep pet rabbits where they can be terrified or killed by predators: pets have been domesticated, which means they've been taken out of their natural environment, bred so that they've lost many of their natural instincts, and then they are placed in a pen where they have no chance of natural defence (escape). Letting predators kill animals under these conditions is cruel: it's nothing like the natural predation of a wild animal. Think of it this way: in your own home, you may be able to protect yourself against an armed maniac; in a jail cell, you don't stand a chance.

How do coyotes get water in the winter?
Asked by Wiki User
Coyotes, like any animal in a desert environment, will find water wherever it can be found. If no surface water is available, some will dig in stream beds to find groundwater, or locate succulent crop plants. In extreme cases, they have even been known to eat the so-called "coyote melons" (Cucurbita palmata), which are very bad-tasting.
Why have coyotes spread out to live in more areas of Canada?
Asked by Wiki User
The coyote is native to North America. Despite being extensively hunted, the coyote is one of the few medium-to-large-sized animals that has enlarged its range since human encroachment began. It originally ranged primarily in the western half of North America, but it has adapted readily to the changes caused by human presence and, since the early 19th century, has been steadily and dramatically extending its range. Sightings now commonly occur in a majority of the United States and Canada. Coyotes inhabit nearly every contiguous U.S. state and Alaska. Coyotes have moved into most of the areas of North America formerly occupied by Gray_Wolf, and are often observed foraging in suburban garbage bins.
