Coyote Songs (Movie)

August 27, 2005, updated April 13, 2008

Coyotes (Canis latrans) are common here in Tucson, and they can be seen anytime during the day or night. My dad videotaped a couple of coyotes "singing", and he then saved the video as a short Quicktime movie.

Note: This movie requires Quicktime (free) and is about 4.7 MB in size, so if you are using dial-up, it may take a while to load.

My four dogs absolutely hate coyotes, so every time I play this movie, they become enraged, thinking that a coyote has somehow gotten into the house. They start running around the house barking loudly and searching for the coyote, and they make so much noise that I have to listen with my headphones on if I want to hear the coyotes "singing".
