Hearing stories about urban wildlife might make you wonder: do coyotes ever actively hunt humans? The short answer is no, coyotes do not view humans as prey. In this video, we explore how coyotes are naturally cautious and avoid adult humans whenever possible. Discover why rare aggressive instances happen due to habituation—when people intentionally feed them or leave open trash—causing them to lose their natural fear. Plus, learn how territorial defense during pup-rearing season causes protective behavior, and how you can keep coyotes wild by never leaving food outside, hazing them with loud noises, and keeping small pets leashed! What you will learn:Do Coyotes Hunt People?: Why humans are never part of a coyote's natural diet or prey perception. The Danger of Habituation: How intentional feeding or open trash strips away a coyote's natural fear of humans. Territorial Defense: Why coyotes act defensively near dens during pup-rearing season.
