In some of our local parks, coyotes were 'baiting' off-leash dogs. A single coyote would approach and attempt to draw the dog to follow it. If the dog did follow, there was a pack of coyotes around it in an instant - and the dog became lunch.

It's rare for a coyote to attack when the dog is near humans, but they are Wiley coyotes.

Also, many outdoor cats in the neighborhood have vanished, probably due to coyotes.
