Hey Coyotes are really wily creatures.
The wild hogs of modern day America are also giving us hell
Context?
As I understand it, this is in large part because coyotes form family packs, where most are not breeding. If you start murdering the pack, you end up with more, rather than fewer breeding pairs as they all skidaddle in different directions
And what did we learn from that?
We learned that they are in an extremely resilient species that responds to broad extermination by increasing its reproduction rate. If Australia got its ass kicked by the emu in a war then America got its ass kicked by coyotes.
Literally, we only made more of them. Coyotes apparently have a built-in system in which when they call out for each other and voices that were heard before are no longer heard then that drives the females into heat. The more you kill the more they reproduce I think it has something to do with the way wolves hate them.
Coyotes are noticeably smaller than wolves. The situation could be much worse, and I won’t complain. Wolves are extinct in my part of America, so they fill the role of canine predator.
You’re using the meme in the most backwards way possible. Little guy (protagonist from Dark Souls 3 if you were interested) is supposed to beat the intimidating massive giant (Yhorm the Giant).
So just swap where the text is, and it would be perfect. The big strong extermination campaign was thwarted by the small, wiley coyotes
I used to live in a very rural area, local farm got sold to a couple from the big city not too far south of us. Before they moved in they did a full reno new fence the works. Then they move in and bought like 2 dozen horses, end of the summer rolls in the guy shows up at our door. They had lost 18 horses in one summer, i was dumb founded. my dad jokingly goes so when are you going to get a couple of donkeys? They guys like what do you mean they will get eaten too? He had two delivered like 4 days later never had another problem.
Here’s the difference: we never declared *war* on them.
I’m in Southern California, growing up each of my neighbors lost at least one pet to coyotes. They once managed to jump my neighbors 6’ tall wood fence and get their little elderly terrier, carried him off with his Christmas sweater and all. If your pet was out after dark, it was considered more your fault than theirs; you knew the risk, they’re just animals trying to eat
Coyotes breeding with wolves is a interesting thing, cool as hell actually look up a coywolf
I feel like coyotes are the one species that it’s understandable given that they literally have an in-built “prevent extinction” function in their pack dynamics.
Meanwhile emus are just tanky birds that run fast.
The difference. Emus don’t breed when one of them die to replace their numbers.
Coyotes do a thing called compensatory reproduction. Basically they lose a few bodies and they go we need to replace them. So they go into breeding mode. So while they maybe lose 3 or 4 they end up having 3 or 4 new litters that have 4 to 6 pups per litter.
Have you heard about how wolf population in US have fallen to such degree we are seeing crosses with Coyotes? In Texas genetic testing was done proving a population of Dog Coyote Wolf hybrids. Well maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) atleast not sure about other wolf dna
Multiplying harder when enemies try to kill you is absolutely some trickster god shit
Prairie dogs, too
Today on the Yhorm meme being used wrong
It’s an internet pet peeve of mine whenever someone says Australia lost the Emu War. They lost the first two battles but they ultimately won. But losing the first battle is the only story newspaper reporters ran because that’s the funnier story
Yeah, unless you get the ENTIRE familypack all at once, they spread and each start making their OWN packs.
Infinite coyote glitch, basically
Blue coastal states: “I want affordable healthcare!”
Red coastal states: “I want lower taxes!”
Inland states for some fucking reason: “I want to spend billions of dollars driving wolves and coyotes into extinction!”
WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS GET THIS FORMAT BACKWARDS??
Bad use of format.
