Sorry- but do you honestly belief that coyotes will hunt rats? In a city? They will eat fastfood leftovers from the garbage cans with the rats. Creatures hunt out of desperation- hunting is energy-expensive, dangerous and often not successful unless it targets the small, old or parasite riddled. That coyote will get diabetes before it gets to even start hunting rats.
- rcruzeiro 1y agoNot sure about coyotes, but here in Norway foxes hang around near the garbage bins of restaurants because the garbage attracts rat. They will then leave happily with a huge rats in their mouths.
- SideburnsOfDoom 1y agoLondon, England has a large population of urban foxes. It seems that their favourite meal is discarded fast-food fried chicken bits, their second choice is "raid the garbage bins for anything smelly and meat-based". But for sure they'd take live prey such as rats. They also eat snails and earthworms. In other words, a successful urban animal should be nocturnal, fast and agile, clever and above all: omnivorous.
- e40 1y agoMy well fed cat used to hunt rats, and eat them.
- dboreham 1y agoAs a cat "owner" this seems not true. Cats hunt as a hobby.
- johngossman 1y agoI have webcam footage from my backyard of a Coyote catching and eating a rat. The University of Washington has been doing DNA analysis of the scat of urban Coyotes and they eat a lot of rats (even more rabbits). https://seattlecoyotestudy.wixsite.com/seattlecoyotestudy/about-3 https://seattlecoyotestudy.wixsite.com/seattlecoyotestudy/ab...
- thefaux 1y agoI see coyotes hunting gophers all the time in the big city I live in. I have never seen one rooting around in a garbage can.
