Coyotes live in a range of habitats and environments. They can live from dry deserts to wet meadows or foggy coastal areas. They thrive in many situations because they are generalists and can find a wide variety of prey.
Although they are primarily carnivores (but will also eat fruits, vegetables, and seeds), they are also herbivores. California's omnivores are able to thrive in diverse habitats because of their varied diet.
Breeding happens once per year. It usually takes place in February or January with pups arriving around 63 days later. The female creates a burrow under an uprooted log, tree, or thicket. Other options include hollow logs and storm drains.
The puppies stay with their parents for 6 months before moving out on their feet. They will start to hunt and eat their mother’s food. After about a year, they will start to search for their own food and disperse out into the wild.
Coyotes are often seen near roads or in residential areas close to open land during this period. This is normal and indicates that coyotes are looking for their hunting grounds.
If you do spot a coyote it is important that you don't try to kill it. Coyotes may be aggressive and can even attack your children or pets if they feel threatened.
Instead, you can scare the coyote away using escape conditioning or aversion training. This could include screaming, flailing your arms, and appearing intimidating to the animal.
You should not approach the animal unless your experience and knowledge in controlling coyotes is extensive. 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. This will make it harder for the animal and increase its likelihood of attacking you.
Another effective way to scare a coyote away is to haze it. There are many ways to do this. These can include waving your arms or shaking your keys.
Other methods of fending off coyotes can also be effective, including slamming doors and windows, jumping in the air, and hitting the ground with your feet. These actions are effective at fending off coyotes and keeping them away from your territory. However, they are dangerous and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
A coyote is an adaptable, natural survivalist and you won't be able force them to move. They are also intelligent animals that can adapt to changes in the environment.
