Page "Coyote" Paragraph 24
from
Wikipedia
Coyotes are opportunistic, versatile carnivores with a 90 % mammalian diet, depending on the season.
They primarily eat small mammals, such as voles, prairie dogs, eastern cottontails, ground squirrels, and mice, though they will eat birds, snakes, lizards, deer, javelina, and livestock, as well as large insects and other large invertebrates.
Urban populations of coyotes have been known to actively hunt cats, and to leap shorter fences to take small dogs.
In particularly bold urban packs, coyotes have also been reported to shadow human joggers or larger dogs, and even to take small dogs while the dog is still on a leash.
However, this behavior is often reported when normal urban prey, such as brown rats, black rats and rabbits, have become scarce.
