I know what you mean since some of us think the cartoon version of coyotes are similar to a real life version.

I did not know that you encountered coyotes when you were younger.

It was scary for the father and his daughter seeing a coyote up close and personal.

@Deepizzaguy Coyotes are individuals. I think it would depend on that particular one.

There are so many wild animals coming in to the residences houses in your place. I hope everyone is always okay about it and none of the animals and people are hurt always.

That is true that many animals come into the residences looking for food since their homes are being cut off by humans.

That is true since remaining calm during an encounter with a coyote is the best way to avoid getting hurt.

The girl was lucky and resourceful to climb onto the table and away from the coyote.
Coyotes are becoming more aggressive these days, due to their becoming used to being around humans, and so they can be a real threat to humans, these days too.

I did not know that coyotes these days can harm humans.
