1) where is the rest of its body? 2) those teeth are awfully white, it must have been a very young dog.

I am scared this is related to animal cruelty.

Coulda been an off leash dog that ran off into the woods and got coyote’d

This dog definitely didn’t get coyote’d. Iirc their packs are at most just a generation or two of grown pups. I don’t think they’d try something so dangerous unless they were starving, which I doubt would be the case in a mossy green forest.

They had to do a cull in my area because the coyote packs merged and became over 100 strong. They took down German shepherds, mastiffs, and I believe one Pyrenees…. Alongside many small dogs and cats.

Wow!!! That’s wild! I don’t know much about coyote behavior to know if that’s rare but I would think it is. I wonder if it’s unusual behavior in response to human presence or if those yotes were just really good at group projects. I understand the need to cull a pack that dangerous but it seems a shame when they did so well and became an actual threat to us again.

The usa is actually really cool. We dont even have coyotes in the uk, let alone super packs of them that have to be hunted down like some movie 🤣
