Answer 2

When hunting small prey like mice, the coyote will stand still with its legs stiff and then pounce on its prey. When hunting larger prey like deer, coyotes hunt in packs. One or more coyote will chase the deer while the others wait, then the next group will pick up the chase. Working in teams like this, the coyote can tire the deer out, making it easier to kill. Coyotes also often follow badgers and catch prey that pop out of burrows the badger is digging.

Answer 3

If the animal thry're hunting is small, their tecnique is similar to a cat's(they stalk their prey for a long time then pounce on it, and finally they will bite it and may shake it, unlike a cat which clamps on their prey), but when hunting large prey coyotes will hunt in packs to coperate making them stronger and may take turns using their stamina to fatigue their prey, and finally attack the rear flanks of the deer or any lareg animal they attack, though they may sometimes grab the head or neck, pulling it to the ground.
Coyotes usually go hunt in packs of 8-10 and they circle their pray then attack it.

Answer 4

Coyotes eat any small animal they can catch, such as mice, gophers, rate, squirrels, snakes, lizards, beavers, rabbits, fish, bird and dead animal carcasses. They will even stalk and pounce on grasshoppers and in the spring they will eat fawns if they can catch them.

Coyotes will also eat dog food, get in your garbage, eat your garden or crops, and attack livestock, chickens and pets, especially cats. They hunt mostly at night, but will occasionally hunt during the day.

When you hear a pack of coyotes howling in the distance, you can be fairly sure food has been found. Howling is the way they let other coyotes know there's food available. They spread out and hunt, and when one finds something to eat, he will howl to let the others know. So you may sometimes hear a lone howl. And when they reunite, you will usually hear the entire group howling and yelping.

Coyotes stalk their prey, and when they see the chance to pounce, they pounce, disabling the animal immediately.
