The West Marin FeedAnyone know what’s going on here? Deer and coyote having a moment. Spotted just outside Point Reyes Station by tor_one5. Deer not having it
Jennifer@thewestmarinfeed wow that's really something!! The coyote must have gotten on the deer's last nerve!
Sci-Fi GirlI know that llamas will attack any canine. (They are fantastic at guarding farms from wild predators.)
I haven't heard of deer doing the same! I wonder if there was a fawn nearby? 🤔
@5ciFiGirl @thewestmarinfeed I didn't know llamas attack other animals. That brings a really funny picture to my mind. Attack llama!! 😆
Yep! 😀
Some people have guard dogs to protect their livestock from predators, and other people have guard llamas! 🦙
(But you can't have a guard llama and *also* have a a guard dog or herding dog, for fairly obvious reasons! 😉)
Here's an interesting article on the subject (I had to skip over a bunch of LLM garbage to find this.😤)
Anyway, I don't think its paywalled, I clicked "keep reading" and read the whole thing: 😎

@5ciFiGirl @thewestmarinfeed I find this absolutely hilarious 😆 We have trouble with dogs coming onto our property, I've started carrying pepper spray when I'm outside just in case, and now I kinda want a guardian llama!!
EdgeMy uneducated guess is that the doe is healthy and strong and probably has a fawn somewhere, and she's running off the coyote to protect it.
If there was more than one coyote I'd imagine it would be different.
Bruce Elrick@czarbucks @thewestmarinfeed Definitely some mama doe energy.
Geoff Coffey@thewestmarinfeed I choose to believe this is the about midway between the meet-cute and the wedding.
Cromleyjust out of frame: tunnel painted into the hillside. doe fell for it but just bruised her nose. coyote's paint-stained fur gave him away
Flere-Imsaho 🇺🇦 (moved)@thewestmarinfeed Obviously the coyote had stolen the deers phone.
