Coyotes are a significant predator on deer, yet few videos show just how they do it. This clip presents several minutes of one-on-one confrontation between a coyote and an antlerless deer.
Aside from being entertaining, the footage shows several elements of the predator/prey relationship. Watch as the coyote continually attempts to bite the deer on its hamstring, rendering it helpless. Additionally, this deer may be an antler-less buck as you will see the deer butt at the coyote with its head. Luckily for the deer, this was a lone coyote and not a pair or pack. Otherwise, the outcome would have been very different.
