I don't think most people realize how small coyotes actually are. Depending on the type, coyotes weigh on average 25-35 pounds, with the largest males not topping 45 pounds. The smallest male Great Pyrenees weigh 100 pounds, and can get up to 160 pounds. Those coyotes didn't stand a chance, didn't matter he was outnumbered 10 to 1. Imagine the average adult male versus ten five-year-olds. They might do a little damage, but they don't stand a chance of winning.

Yeah it is not close to an even fight. I even saw a video once of a Komandor ruining two off wolves. It was an amazing thing to see. Yeah the wolves could have taken the dog but it would have taken one of with it. It came down to the fact that the dog didn't consider being hurt as a problem and the wolves did.

Too often women and men forget that you need to kill and maim when fighting for your life.

The amount of times I've seen people just roll over and die when being attacked by smaller animals because they don't want to fight back or hurt it is too damn high.

Right? Bite that fucker and rip it’s ears off. Tear it’s throat out! Bonus points if you can snag both testicles.
