Hurt and scared coyote

Around 3:30 am a coyote started crying really badly and loudly outside. Not a regular bark or yelp but I one from fear or pain.

It wasn’t in front of my house but nearby. He cried for what seemed like a long time. It was a cry that pierced through your soul. It was a cry of deep pain and sadness

Two of my boys went to look for it but it stopped crying shortly after they left and they couldn’t find it.

I couldn’t go back to sleep after that. I was so sad and worried about the animal

Right now is mating season for coyotes! They make a lot of different sounds. It’s probably not hurt. My advise would be keep your dogs and cats in or on a leash!

@Orangehotrod oh I did not think of that. I will go online and listen to their mating. Sounds and see if it sounds like the horrible noise I heard.

@Jenny1234 we have a farm and I’m out at all times of the night I hear them all the time! A breading fox sometimes sounds like a scream!

@Orangehotrod they sound like old women screaming. So I listened to the coyote mating call and what I heard was definitely not that. Over 12 hours later and I’m still heartbroken and can’t stop thinking about what I heard.
