Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Voles or field mice are probably the main food of the coyotes at Metzger Farm Open Space in Westminster and Broomfield, Colorado. This video shows their technique for hunting and catching voles. The leaping pounce seems exaggerated for the size of the prey, but is very effective. As shown here, they swallow the voles whole. This coyote caught and ate three voles in about 10 minutes.
