The full question points out, quite rightly, “that obstreperousness is the expected standard” when it comes to coyotes. One might be forgiven for thinking a well-behaved ‘yote is off-spec, but appearances can be deceiving…as can coyotes. Let’s say, for instance, you see a coyote in the uniform coveralls of a utility company walking into a building with a tool bag. Is this a mild-mannered song dog on the job or a dastardly cur infiltrating a mark? We just can’t know until the police report comes out.
