Once coyotes establish themselves, you can never get rid of them. If you try to exterminate them, they just start having larger litters until their population recovers. They are adaptable and cunning. I hope that South America’s animals are ready for them, because they can permanently change an ecosystem.

- erikpukinskis 7y agoThe irony: we kill large scary predators, but inevitably medium sized predators replace them. People and cattle are not terrorized but our Shih Tzus and kitty cats are.
- pvaldes 7y agoYep, It even has a name in Ecology: Mesopredator release. You can have one wolf or "twenty" coyotes in the same area.
- oflannabhra 7y agoYep. Coyote population is purely tied to resource availability, which unfortunately can include domesticated animals. Any farmer will tell you that security is more important than hunting for coyotes.
