Summary

[edit]
Description

This coyote has a severe case of mange. This is a female. The male in the group appears to not have mange. A few coyotes that get mange recover, but most deteriorate and eventually die of exposure and lack of food.

Mange is cause by mites and is passed primarily through direct contact. Coyotes with mange tend to become lethargic and less wary of threats. This is probably due in part to exhaustion from not being able to sleep due to itching.

This coyote is one of the residential coyotes at Metzger Farm Open Space in Westminster and Broomfield, Colorado. Coyotes with mange have been seen in this area for several years, but not all the coyotes in the area have mange.
