They are intelligent, omnivorous and opportunistic and will take food where they find it.

That is why they are the most wide spread predators in the America's. And the western variety, near the Rocky Mountains can be up to 50 lbs. When I lived in Calgary, we lived at the edge of the city and our yard backed onto the prairies. It was not uncommon for a couple dogs to go missing a year. And even this past year 2 toddlers were attacked by coyote's.

You should take what ever precautions you can around any wild animal.
