Charlie Vs The Wild Life! Dear Mr. Coyote!

They're so loud!

Is it just me or are the coyotes insane right now?  In the last few weeks, in particular, I’ve had to deal with a few issues regarding these scary animals.  I’ve explained it in a letter to them!

Dear Mr. Coyote!

I don’t appreciate waking up each morning to your poop in the middle of my driveway…I realize that you didn’t like that we installed a fence so you can no longer try and eat my dog… However; there are plenty of squirrels who leave walnut shells all over my property- so feel free!

 

FUN FACT

These adaptable animals will eat almost anything. They hunt rabbits, rodents, fish, frogs, and even deer. They also happily dine on insects, snakes, fruit, grass, and carrion. Because they sometimes kill lambs, calves, or other livestock, as well as pets, many ranchers and farmers regard them as destructive pests.

 

Dear Mr. Coyote!

There appears to be a lot of you and you all appear to want to party outside my bedroom window after 10 pm.  I’d appreciate it if you could keep it down…

 

FUN FACT

The sound of coyotes howling and yipping at night sometimes causes people concern and alarm. … Coyotes howl and yip primarily to communicate with each other and establish territory. They may bark when they are defending a den or a kill. People typically overestimate the number of coyotes they hear.

 

Dear Mr. Coyote!

And speaking of partying; if you could not intermingle with the wolves and have hybrid babies- that would be awesome. The other night, one of your coy-wolve offspring tried to attack my husband’s buddy who was walking over for a beer.

 

FUN FACT
All three can interbreed and produce viable, fertile offspring — wolfdogs, coywolves, and coydogs. … Scientists can identify a coywolf from a coyote and a wolf, and a coydog from a coyote and a dog. The red wolf (Canis niger) has been shown to be a coyote-wolf hybrid. Wolves, coyotes, and dogs are social creatures.
