[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1815484, member: 109862"] Regarding unhealthy...I think it’s most wise indeed that they’re treating this man for rabies as the weirdest thing about the story to me is that the coyote was all alone and attacked a kid who was with other people and not alone, and didn’t flee when attacked by a much larger opponent. I do suspect rabies or the desperate kind of starvation which seems unlikely. In either possibility, glad the family is okay, and also glad that this animals suffering is over because it certainly does seem like there was something really not right there. People underestimate what even small animals can do...but they also underestimate what human beings are capable of when fighting like animals. A grown man determined to fight is not a “beast of the field” but certainly more of a force to be reckoned with even in nature than many think. Give him any basic tool or weapon, a stick even, and the odds start getting better in a hurry. There’s a reason we are the dominant species on this planet, and have been so long long before we had guns or metal weapons or anything really. You say that things might have been different if “Superdad” was fighting a strapping male in his prime. On the flip side, in the majority of the stories I’ve heard in which a coyote or other smaller predator has killed a human, it’s often been a child, a woman, or a senior person. In those cases we could say that things probably would have gone less well for the predator had their human target been a “strapping male in his prime” [/QUOTE]
