Their crazy songs are one of my favorite things about living in a rural area. They sound like a roving dog rave! So much yipping and screaming, so much energy, it’s thrilling every time I hear them.

What crazy shit are they getting up to out there?!? Why do they sometimes sound like they’re just a roving party and other times like they’re the actual Wild Hunt?!

I know they want to eat my chickens, guineas, and probably also my cats, but they’re just having such a good time out there that I can’t be mad about it.

    a lot of it is just telling other family members where they are as well as communicating with other groups, some of it’s playing and hunting

    love a coyote. fun fact they’re literally just small wolves, until the late 19th century in the anglophone world they were more commonly called prairie wolves

      They must do so much playing and hunting along the ridgeline where I live. They just sound so enthusiastic out there!

      There are deer herds and turkey flocks that pass along this way too, they must just be crazy stoked about all the awesome smells out there all the time.
