Used to love playing with the coyotes in the Rural northeast as a bored teenager. MY brother and I would crouch in the long grass in a 300 acre hilly field and see how close we could get to the coyotes. I don’t think We were sneaking up on them, they just didn’t see us as a threat. Once there were 4 rather than the usual one or two and they started circling us which was both amazing and nerve-wracking. Eventually we stood up and waved our arms and they loped off at a very unconcerned pace.

This one in unincorporated Cupertino walked at me for a quarter of a mile and then walked past me. https://www.flickr.com/photos/swoo/8590438705 https://www.flickr.com/photos/swoo/8590438705 There's one in La Honda for at least a few years that does not move when I go past on the road, it just sits in the road and makes people move around it.

- nkrisc 8y agoIn Chicago I had a particularly fat one saunter right past me, a few feet away, before dashing across a busy four lane street into a cemetery. He was clearly not fazed by me, or traffic, at all. (It was across Western, for anyone wondering) There was also this famous incident of a coyote who casually walked into a Quiznos in Lincoln Park and cooled off in the drink cooler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWTttvImgnQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWTttvImgnQ
