Since when do coyotes look so mean?

I used to live in country area of Adkins Texas where there are coyotes roaming about. I’ve never seen one but I hear they are very vicious.

Not vicious - very smart and quite pretty. Yes, they eat things, like your left outside cat or small dog…but vermin is their favorite and, like bats, are good to have around.

Good thing Cagney’s inside. He can’t hear them.

Not us, unfortunately
