00:22like rodents and rabbits, along with insects and fallen fruit. However, coyote attacks,
00:27while extremely rare, can occasionally happen. This usually occurs when coyotes become habituated
00:33to people, often because someone is intentionally feeding them or leaving pet food outside.
00:38When coyotes lose their natural fear, they may become bold or protective of their territory.
00:44To stay safe, practice smart prevention. Never feed wild coyotes. Keep small pets on a leash
00:50and secure outdoor trash. If a coyote approaches you, don't run. Make loud noises. Wave your arms.
