Coyotes can live in a variety of habitats and environments, from dry deserts to wet meadows and foggy coastal regions. Coyotes thrive in all kinds of environments, as they are good at finding prey and are generalists.
While they are primarily carnivores and will eat fruits, berries, seeds, and other small animals, they also enjoy eating plants. California's omnivores are able to thrive in diverse habitats because of their varied diet.
Breeding is a once-a-year event. Typically, it happens in February or January. Pups are born about 63-days later. The female will either dig a hole under a downed tree, log, thicket, or may use another animal’s burrow. Other options include hollow logs and storm drains.
The pups stay with their parents for approximately 6 months before going out on their own. They will eat their mother's food at this stage and learn to hunt. After around a year, they'll be able to hunt and search for their food in the wild.
People are likely to encounter coyotes at this time in areas where there is open space and near roads. This behavior is normal and generally indicates that they are searching for their favorite hunting ground.
It is important to avoid trying to stop a coyote from attacking you if you do encounter it. Coyotes may be aggressive and can even attack your children or pets if they feel threatened.
Instead, use escape or aversion condition to scare off the coyote. This includes yelling, flailing your arms and looking intimidating to the animal.
It is also important to not approach the animal without being an expert or having experience with coyote removal. This can make it easier for the animal to associate you with negative feelings, such as fear or anger.
Avoid feeding or giving food to coyotes. You will make it more difficult for the animal to handle you as it will be used to your food and could attack.
Hazing a coyote is another effective way to scare the animal away, and it can be done in a variety of ways. It can be done by waving your arms, shaking your hands, shaking your car keys and throwing objects towards the animal.
Other ways to stop coyotes from approaching you include jumping up and down, slamming windows and doors, and hitting your feet on the ground. These actions can deter coyotes from coming towards you and intimidate them, but these actions are very dangerous and should be avoided.
A coyote, a resilient, natural survivor, is unlikely to be forced to flee. They are intelligent and adapt well to changing environments.
