The Coyote Connection: Promoting Respectful Coexistence in Our Communities

In our natural spaces like the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and the George Genereux Urban Regional Park, coexistence with wildlife, including coyotes, is essential for maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystems. As we venture into these semi-wilderness habitats, understanding how to peacefully interact with coyotes becomes paramount. Respect Nature, Respect Coyotes: Let’s…

[zooophagous]

If you put a bunch of horses, zebras and donkeys in a large field together, with enough grass, vegetation, water, etc. to consume but without any human intervention - would there be interbreeding going on? If not, what do you think this scenario would look like more generally? Thanks in advance :)

Generally, when there is no human intervention, hybridization is very rare.

Horses are present in Africa, where there are populations of both wild ass and zebra, and yet wild zorse or even wild mules are basically unheard of. See also, the American southwest, where horses and burros are both invasive and yet you don't see feral mules among them.

This is because animals that have speciated, or become different species, have different estrus cycles, different courtship rituals and different behavior patterns that tend to make matings of this type very rare. Especially with horses, where mares tend to live in a herd that is protected by a stallion that will fight to the death over breeding rights to said mares.

A feral burro would not likely fare well against a feral horse stallion, if it attempted a mating with a feral mare at all.

You also see this even with animals that are much closer related to one another such as dogs, wolves and coyotes. All three of these animals have considerable overlap and can even produce viable offspring unlike a horse and a donkey. However it's still exceedingly rare for it to happen in the wild.

Wolves and coyotes are seasonal breeders that go into estrus at different times, and the strong territorial nature of these animals means they seldom mix. A wild wolf and a wild dog, or a wild dog and a wild coyote, or a wild wolf and wild coyote, are more than likely going to see each other as either a threat or a prey item and attack it accordingly.

Being raised by humans and made to tolerate one another with behavioral modification and artificial introductions to create cross species relationships, often by introducing the animals when they're still babies, gets them over the differences that usually prevent their union.

While sometimes wild hybrids do happen naturally, even then many times it's considered a survival response to pressures exerted on them by humans. See the eastern coyote, which is said to have considerable wolf ancestry, which may have happened because wolves were so strongly persecuted as to be almost entirely wiped out while the coyote was able to adapt. The more adaptable or desperate wolves threw their lot in with the survivors. (Though there is also some conjecture that even the eastern coyote is much less of a hybrid and more of just a large coyote without as much wolf or dog influence as previous believed)

Nature doesn't tend to encourage hybridization, and while you may get one or two fluke mules from such a group, if they had enough space to escape one another and access to their own kind to mate with, you wouldn't see it very much.

[ DATE : MARCH 16, 2025 ] following  the  completion  of  all  assigned  interrogations,  the  office  of  the  director  hereby  provides  the  following  assessment  and  follow-up  procedures  for  transparency's  sake.

THE FOLLOWING AGENTS ARE NOW CLEARED FROM SUSPICION :

✅ WARLORD :    although the subject  exhibited  frustration  throughout  the  interrogation,  the interrogator  determined  that  warlord  presented  no  indications  of  compromise  or  subversion.  his  responses  were  consistent  with  verified  operational  logs  and  expected behavior.  FINAL ASSESSMENT : TRUSTWORTHY. ✅ PROMETHEUS  :    while  the subject  exhibited  a  low  risk  for  covert  czernobog activity,  the interrogator  has  deemed  it  prudent  to  assign  additional  surveillance  on  the subject  as  a  small precautionary  measure.  starting immediately, AGENT BLINK  is  granted  full  oversight  of  the subject's  future  operations,  with  authority  to  escalate  should  any  inconsistent  patterns  arise. FINAL ASSESSMENT : TRUSTWORTHY. ✅ CASPER :    after  the initial  introductions and a slight coercion tactic by the interrogator,  the subject  complied  with  the interrogator's  line  of  questioning,  providing  consistent  answers  aligned  with  operational  timelines  and  activity  logs. FINAL ASSESSMENT : TRUSTWORTHY. ✅ TOXIN :    the interrogator assessed that the subject  displayed  no  indicators  of  deceit  or  ulterior  motives  during  questioning. the subject's alibi was also confirmed t  through  corroborated  surveillance  footage  and  timeline  analysis. FINAL ASSESSMENT : TRUSTWORTHY. ✅ LORALEI :    the  interrogation  of  the subject  proceeded  without  incident, with the subject  demonstrating  full  cooperation  throughout  the  inquiry and  all  responses  aligning  with  verified  intelligence. FINAL ASSESSMENT : TRUSTWORTHY. ✅ GOSSAMER :    the subject's  interrogation  revealed  genuine  loyalty  and  devotion  to  pandora's  mission,  with  his  statements  passing  all  phases  of  lie  detection  and  analysis. FINAL ASSESSMENT : TRUSTWORTHY.

THE FOLLOWING AGENTS ARE AWAITING FINAL ASSESMENT :

❓ PARASITE.

THE FOLLOWING AGENTS COULD BE POTENTIALLY COMPROMISED :

⚠️ COYOTE :    the  subject's  interrogation  revealed  troubling  inconsistencies  and  a  concerning  willingness  to  implicate  a  fellow  operative  without  any  substantial  evidence.  the  interrogator  expressed  a  lingering  sense  that  something  is  amiss  with  the  subject's  behavior,  suggesting  possible  compromise  or  coercion.  better  observation  and  /  or  expert  psychological  assessment  is  highly  advised  to  determine  the  subject's  operational  integrity  moving  forward. FINAL ASSESSMENT : POTENTIALLY COMPROMISED. ⚠️ HIVE :    the  interrogator's  assessment  of  the  subject  indicated  pre-rehearsed  answers  and  the  calculated  use  of  psychological  manipulation  throughout  the  interrogation.  the  subject's  responses  are  also  flagged  as  too  refined  and  overly  structured,  suggesting  a  potential  attempt  to  mislead  or  obscure  certain  truths.  the  subject's  fondness  for  employing  psychological  games  further  raised  concern  regarding  his  allegiance. FINAL ASSESSMENT : POTENTIALLY COMPROMISED. ⚠️ CHIMERA :    although  the subject  was  not  initially  identified  as  a  direct  suspect,  the interrogator's  assessment  emphasized  that  the subject's  powers and previous  affiliation  with  czernobog  inherently  categorizes  him  as  high-risk  for  potential  mole  activity.  while  the subject's  responses  did  not  raise  immediate  concerns,  his  past  conditioning  and  programming  remain  an  unresolved  variable.  due  to  this  latent  threat  potential,  the subject  is  required  to  have additional  surveillance  and  precautionary  oversight. FINAL ASSESSMENT : SPECIAL STUDY NEEDED.

with  credible  concerns  regarding  their  potential  compromise and / or risk of being deep-cover czernobog assets,  agents  hive,  coyote,  and  chimera  are  mandated  to  wear  the  fortitude  division's  newly  developed  security prototype device,  the  argus  band, until they're clear of suspicion.

this metallic  collar  serves  as  a  multi-functional  security  device  equipped  with :

real-time  tracking  —  continuous  location  monitoring  with  internal  uplink  to  pandora’s  secure  network.

audio  and  video  recording  —  passive  capture  of  ambient  conversation  and  activity  logs.

localized  explosive  mechanism  —  a  safeguard  protocol  allowing  for  remote  detonation  in  the  event  of  unauthorized  movement,  breach  of  trust,  or  further  corroboration  of  disloyalty.

** only authorized personnel will have the means to remove this device. anyone caught tampering with the device will face immediate punishment.

additionally, due to their meticulous and successful work as interrogators, the following agents are allowed a 72-hour vacation leave from atlantis, with an additional operative of their choice [ excluding potentially compromised agents ] : ONI, WILDSEER, LITTLE SPOON, HARBINGER, BLOODBORN, NIGHTSHADE, BLINK, AND ZERO.

MARCH 26, 2025. canon-typical violence, death tw. more info under the cut.

LEVEL 02 — COMMAND CENTER.

the  prudence  division  quietly  operated  in  level  02's  command  center,  their  eyes  and  ears  stretched  across  every  digital  thread  in  and  beyond  atlantis.  and  seeing  fragments  of  odd  patterns,  information  coded  in  algorithms,  and  intelligence  leaks  between  different  pandora  outposts  and  personnels  were  nothing  new.  after  all,  even  the  higher-ups  had  their  own  agendas—  the  castillos,  the  junipers,  the  albrights.   but  director  marcus  valance  didn't  see  their  attempts  at  gaining  more  power  and  authority  to  be  a  threat  to  the  organization.  but  this  ?  it  was  a  suspicion  crystallized  into  confirmation  when  a  meticulously  encrypted  message  was  intercepted,  piggybacking  off  atlantis'  auxiliary  data  stream,  routed  to  a  russian  backchannel.  it  was  clean,  professional,  and  almost  untraceable.  almost.  but  there  was  no  mistaking  the  signature  embedded  within  the  code—  daemon. "  all  operatives,  "  the  voice  echoed  across  atlantis'  vast,  sterile  corridors,  crackling  through  the  pa  system  as  the  emergency  protocol  engaged.  "  code  black.  immediate  termination  order  issued  for  agent  daemon.  eliminate  on  sight.  " but  the  fallout  was  immediate.  security  feeds  scrambled.  communications  severed.  a  power  blackout  while  the  cloaking  and  perimeter  defense  pulled  every  available  wattage  from  the  backup  generators,  leaving  only  the  cold  glow  of  red  emergency  lights  pulsing  in  the  oppressive  dimness.  and  deep  within  the  network,  daemon’s  technopathy  infected  atlantis  like  a  virus.  hundreds  of  hours  of  surveillance  footage  deleted.  the  omnipresent  androids—  derek,  porter,  manny—  turned  against  the  agents  like  it  was  fucking  hell  week  all  over  again,  their  programming  hijacked,  directive  rewritten.  hundreds  of  them  attempting  to  hold  back  the  agents  from  stopping  daemon's  escape.

LEVEL 05 — THE PLAYGROUND.

the  playground  was  no  sanctuary.  a  swarm  of  androids  trapping  the  operatives  before  they  could  start  looking  for  the supposed traitor. volt's  pulse  surged  through  the  air,  crackling  arcs  of  electricity  leaping  from  his  fingertips,  frying  circuits⸻  but  derek  models  were  insulated  against  electromagnetic  surges.  they  adapted.  three  advanced  units  closed  in,  attacking  him  from  every  angle.  bloodborn  fought  differently,  using  his  own  blood  as  a  weapon,  whipping  it  into  fine  tendrils  that  slashed  and  coiled.  but  against  a  swarm  of  cold  state-of-the-art  machinery,  it  was  almost ineffective.  one  android  drove  its  blade  through  his  thigh⸻  metal  splitting  flesh,  almost  grinding  into  bone.  then  another. and another. achilles  was  already  moving.  reactive  adaptation  kicked  in,  his  body  hardening  against  each  blow,  skin  thickening  to  withstand  the  androids'  relentless  assault.  but  it  was  his  newly  acquired  inanimation  field  that  saved  them,  allowing  him  to  suspend  all  objects  in  his  immediate  vicinity  in  an  inanimate  state.  enough  to  drag  bloodborn  to  safety  as  volt  gathered  enough  power  from  empty  air  to  bypass  the  androids'  insulation  and  incinerate  them  attackers  in  a  final  lightning  burst.

LEVEL 03 — R&D SECTOR

androids  swarmed  the  lab,  but  thankfully  two  agents  were  present  to  protect  the  scientists  and  their  latest  breakthroughs.  gossamer  was  a  blur,  clinging  to  walls,  striking  with  lethal  precision.  webs  of  silk  entangled  the  androids,  holding  them  just  long  enough  for  dash  to  dart  between  them,  a  streak  of  motion  that  left  cybernetic  husks  crumpling  behind  him. but  even  the  fastest  man  in  atlantis  could  be  stopped. a  porter  unit  had  adapted⸻  its  sensors  anticipating  dash's  trajectory.  it  caught  him  mid-stride,  a  blade  carving  into  his  side.  gossamer's  danger  sense  screamed  too  late,  and  he  barely  managed  to  pull  dash  free,  ripping  the  porter  apart  in  a  burst  of  adrenaline. but it managed to stab him too, before completely shutting down. dash's  wound  slowed  him,  but  gossamer  kept  them  moving,  scaling  walls  and  ceilings  while  they  attempted  to  come  up  with  a  plan.

LEVEL 01 — WEAPONS & VEHICLES ENGINEERING LAB

goblin's  exosuit  was  smoking.  his  prototype  devices  had  been  enough  to  down  half  a  dozen  mannys,  but  his  suit  was  running  on  fumes. nurse  was  behind  him,  applying  pressure  to  a  gaping  wound  on  goblin's  shoulder,  his  hands  steady  despite  the  chaos.  neither  of  them  had  powers,  but  his  presence  alone  kept  them  grounded. another  manny  unit  advanced.  goblin's  gauntlet  flared  one  last  time,  an  improvised  energy  cannon  discharging  straight  into  the  android's  core.  it  fell⸻  but  two  more  took  its  place. goblin and nurse  ran  to  his  workshop  table  and  tried  every  prototype  weapon  he  had  ever  made,  everything  and  anything  to  protect  himself  and  nurse.

LEVEL 01 — HANGAR BAY.

daemon  was  cornered. he  was  bleeding,  limping  toward  a  quinjet,  desperation  etched  into  his  face  as  blink  slowly  walked  behind  him,  a  bloody  sword  in  hand. "  i'm  not  the  mole,  "  daemon  rasped,  eyes  flickering  with  static  as  his  technopathy  fought  to  stay  in  control. "  i  fucking  saved  everyone  during  hell  week.  i  warned  everyone  about  the  invasion.  you  have  to  believe  me.  " blink  just  tilted  his  head for a second.  then,  space  ruptured. daemon's  knees  buckled  as  blink  appeared  in  front  of  him,  the  blade  pierced  into  his  gut. "  please—  "  daemon  begged. but  blink's  eyes  were  cold.  space  ruptured  again. blink appeared  behind  him  this  time.  a slash. and  daemon's  head  hit  the  floor,  rolling  to  a  stop,  eyes  wide  with  horror  even  in  death.

the androids return to their official directive, helping the very agents they tried to stop. and the power returned, too. but hundreds of hours of surveillance footage has been deleted⸻ and no one can really fully know everything that happened before and during the blackout. but can it really be this easy ? is daemon really the mole ? as always, pandora is tight-lipped about what's going on. they tell everyone that daemon has been terminated by blink, but that's it.

the three potentially compromised agents continue to wear their argus bands as a precaution. though, rumor has it that the prudence division that the encrypted message that was intercepted is a list of agents who daemon thought were threats to czernobog, including their powers and weaknesses. and according to a particularly gossipy prudence agent, this is somewhat odd because pandora also recently discovered a similar message after hacking viktor sokolov's servers, but this one didn't have the same signature as daemon's message. the threats listed in that message are :

oleksander valentin [ hive ] : telepathy

geum ji-ho [ psynaut ] : telekinesis

jj juniper [ copycat ] : power replication

victor lundberg [ volt ] : electrokinesis

lucas choi [ blink ] : spatial manipulation

and in daemon's message were :

niko petrovic [ lifeweaver ] : life transference

theodore king [ achilles ] : reactive adaptation

adrian crane [ boogeyman ] : fear manifestation

david yoon [ bloodborn ] : blood manipulation

aleki lafaele [ pulse ] : vibration manipulation

but these are just rumors, the operatives aren't officially privy of these information yet.

and with that chapter two : the mole is officially over ! but fret not, just because the mole is an overarching story so expect throughlines for it to continue popping up. but since there's a bunch of new info here, i'm pushing our next chapter and event to april 5th, just to give what happened in this closing some adequate simmering and rp time ! if your muse isn't particularly involved in any of the above, feel free to headcanon their injuries or what they were doing during the blackout ! also just want to thank everyone for your continued activity in this little place < 3 there's a lot of interactive stuff involved especially in this chapter with our secret moles, detectives, and interrogators so i really just want to say i appreciate everyone's willingness to participate ! also if your name is on that threat list, that's all the mole's ( or is it moles ? ) work ! not mine ! so when it's time for what happens next, blame them 🤭

[lutawolf]

Dear Lutha,

Thank you very much for your kind and quick response to my previous (and very first) question, which was about 'caging' in D/s relationships. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to reading your post on the topic.

Since I appreciate your thoughts so much, I am writing to you on another topic. In some dramas with strong D/s elements (such as Cutie Pie, Love in the Air, My Personal Weatherman, You are mine and even sometimes in KinnPorsche), infantilization dynamics are to be seen. This element is all the stronger as the age gap is marked, even though it can still show up anytime.

I'm not necessarily talking about the Dad/little dynamics, but of a more general Adult/minor type relationship, where the former leads and protects the latter through the usual parental tools (like scolding, giving lessons, correcting, punishing, rewarding etc.. .).

For me, this pattern is for example very strong in a series like My Personal Weatherman, where Segasaki assumes a parental role towards Yoh, who often acts and speaks like a child (either spontaneously or in reaction to his partner's attitude). If I understand them correctly, @notfreetoday's detailed and fascinating posts on language(s) in My Personal Weatherman tend to validate this impression.

So, I wanted to ask you a/ if you would also describe parts of these relationships as consensual infantilization and, b/ if so, if they are in your opinion different from common D/s dynamics. Or whether they should be seen as a particular expression of a mere D/s dynamics.

If you have time, I would be happy to read your thoughts on this matter. Thank you once again for your delightful posts.

Best,

Yassa

Hey Yassa!!!

I'm so glad you enjoy my writing. It means a lot!

"Where the former leads and protects the latter through the usual parental tools (like scolding, giving lessons, correcting, punishing, rewarding etc...)."

Labeling discipline as infantile is limiting. We use corrective tools even in the work place. If you mess up then you get scolded, given a lesson, correcting, and so on. We all need correction at any stage of age. It just depends on your hierarchy on how that correction is given. With a D/s relationship, the hierarchy places the Dom at the top. Therefor, if a Dom just like a Boss is found to be wrong, the consequences will be far different from those given to a sub or subordinate. It's an imbalance in power control.

However, I think I'm capturing what you are really trying to ask. All the shows you just mentioned are BT/b relationships. Which is a D/s relationship involving a Brat Tamer Dom and a brat submissive. This is the type of Dom that I am. We are typically very cool, calm, and collected. We are protective but much more loose on the leash than other Doms. We will often engage in romantic play or play fighting, but push us too far, and you will see an intensity in us that will send shivers down your spine. Regardless of how gentle we seem, we will gladly give it to you if you deserve punishment. Due to our submissives liking to push our buttons, you'll see a more tug of war relationship. Depending on if we want to get ahead of it or let it play out is how you'll see us lead. Which is why you see more disciplining in a BT/b relationship.

The Brat Submissive - Brats in general are overly-aggressive, sarcastic, sassy, and your general coyote. They have no intentions of submitting to anyone's authority or discipline if you have not earned their respect.

The SAM Submissive - The SAM is a type of brat. A SAM type submissive, also known as a Smart-Assed Masochist, is just that, a smart-talking submissive with a quick tongue. Usually, their Sammie behavior isn't actually a cry for attention; it's just their way of being playful. In fact, most SAMs when actually threatened with punishment will back off, saying that they were only playing and that they didn't mean anything by it. Occasionally, this behavior can be incredibly frustrating to their partners, but the rewards far out weigh the negatives.

My Beautiful Man: Starts out as M/s which is Master slave and moves into a deep D/s. No BT/t in this relationship.

Not Me: This is a soft D/s relationship, but it's there. White is a little bit of a brat but much more subservient.

Love In The Air: Very much BT/b relationship. With a Primitive Brat Taming Dom and SAM submissive.

Until We Meet Again: I recommend this one for seeing the difference between a deeper D/s relationship that is Dean and Pharm. In comparison to Win and Team who are BT/b.

Between Us: WinTeam's story. Brat Tamer with a SAM submissive. The difference in Team is that he is a Dom outside of their relationship. So what is called a Sexual Submissive Only.

I Will Knock You: Deep D/s with large age gap. The youngest being the Dom.

Stay By My Side: D/s relationship with a stricter Dom but a brat of a sub.

My Personal Weatherman: A Deep Brat Tamer with a brat submissive.

Hope this was helpful! 💜💜💜

i am a coydog!!! infodump and kinfirm

a coydog is a mix between a male coyote and a female dog, with a dogote as the counter. for the most part, they’re not super common as in many cases a coyote would rather eat a dog than mate with one, however it does occur! in the wild, it often occurs when a yote is new to an area and cannot find a mate, and so will mate with a domesticated dog. the appearance of the hybrid will depend on the dog mate, but they typically all share an athletic build with the usual yote-like upright, triangular ears with a long snout. they typically have brown eyes and stick to the brown, dense coat of coyotes, though they can also be white or black as well. they have tails similar to coyotes, bushy and downwards. they bark like dogs and howl (scream) like coyotes.

unlike many hybrids, the coydog is capable of reproduction! due to their wild counterparts, while their temperament can be mild and docile, they very often exhibit the wild traits of their coyote parent. they are a very unpredictable breed. coydogs, like coyotes, are not the most sociable and often only form a strong bond with one person and their primary caretaker. however, there have been cases of early socialization and training that makes them loving parts of a family.

coydogs are typically very healthy and strong, and their typical issues only consist of joint problems. they have a lifespan of 5-15 years depending on where they live and how they are(or aren’t) taken care of.

kinfirm!!

i came across this hybrid last night on tiktok as someone had been discussing their dog that looks a lot like a coyote. a lot of people in the comments went in to describe coydogs in the comments which led me to my own exploration of the mix. after my own digging, mainly looking at photos (the fair and few actual coydog pics, not just dogs bred to look like yotes) and their temperament.

i found that this is is my kintype! i spent almost my whole life (since knowing about otherkinity) identifying myself as a mix between a retriever and a lab, and some unidentified wild candid like a coastal wolf or a coyote. now, surely i still feel very connected to retrievers, i do believe i am a mix between a coyote and a retriever. i share a shorter coat with my coyote side. most of my traits come from my coyote side, with few traits of my domesticated side i can hardly name.

the behavioral traits i have from my coydog kintype is that of a once-wild animal in a domestic environment. i have a very internalized wildness that claws at my ribs to show. i have the skittishness of a wild yote and the loyalty of a retriever

photos!!

the first two pictures are absolutely coydogs. i look like a mix between the second and third photo. the third period claims to be a coyote x retriever, however i will remain skeptical on what i find online. the final image is from a reddit post asking if it’s possible for a coyote and a dog to breed and a photo of their dog. i share a similar build to the last pic mixed with the third, and many of the patterns of the second pic.

i hope you enjoyed my ramblings!!

[werevyote]

Just a long messy ramble once again, specific exploring myself as a draconic coyote and small things alongside it

I am a coyote in all senses, my core, soul, being, roots is all coyote in some shape way or form. Often enough, this includes my draconic side of my identity

I see myself as a wyvern in a way, clawed and pawed wings I use for flight and balance but primarily use my hind legs to walk and run, even with my extra set of arms behind my wings. I support coyote patterned fur and a long coyote tail; my muzzle also being more or less canine-like. You can see some of the visualization here <3

My draconic identity is somewhat fluid, it comes and goes but my coyote half isn't, it's purely solid as a brick. Though, lately, especially in these last months, my draconic side hasn't wavered, it's been strong and solid, I believe it's possible that I'm becoming more draconic in nature alongside my coyote self; meaning that as I am a coyote, I am also a dragon. I am a draconic coyote

I also believe funny enough I've been supporting small dragon behaviors, at least I've seen it, throughout my life. Especially with my own draconic hoard / collections. I specifically collect coyote items. Guess I gotta surround myself with my species huh? A little funny but I've been doing it since highschool. Coyote plushies, pins, art, stickers, vulture culture, education, and so on. That's my main thing, coyote related items and content make me feel content, it feels right, and it feels like it's connected in a way to my draconic instinct

I always have collected some small various stuff and still do, especially now alongside my coyote collection being rocks, bones, autumn related items, and of course fandom related items. Especially fandom items, I have a collection growing through that too since my highschool years, as my main hoard does, it too feels right or connected to my own draconic side

I also often vision myself in other senses as a dragonic coyote. I see myself, I feel as if myself should be a protector of my kind. If you know anything regarding my species history, you know the cruelty coyotes faced by colonial hands. By extension nature as well. It's possible I am simply just protective by nature but protecting has always been one of my core parts of my identity. I believe this could be apart of that. It's possible I may be wrong, but at the moment of writing this, it feels reasonable enough. I believe being native also plays and ties into this however. Though, I deeply believe that's for another time and another essay

Another thing that feels solid and that has always pulled me back to my draconic identity is flight and how I take flight. Yes. I know I know it's a common subject with dragons, and I fully get why. I vividly remember the first time I went on a plane, I was still a teenager, and that was the first time I was involuntarily thrown into a great "shift". Unsure of the best word to phrase it but "mental shift" or possibly an imaginary shift works;

Regardless. I felt my heavy wings and form, phantom limbs bothered me in my small seat without much room to stretch, but looking down at the clouds I felt my mind just run. I could almost physically feel the wing, my wings out stretched and moving in a rhythmic pattern to keep flight and to move in flight, the tense muscles in my shoulders and legs and bones. I especially could feel my fur, how my fur moved in the heavy winds that blanketed my body. It was a daydream but it felt so intense and real, it was wonderful ... and it never left me. That feeling never left me

On and off beforehand I was already exploring the possibility as a dragon, already knew myself as a coyote, but truly I think being able to experience a flight for that one time in my life, I felt something rewire in my mind or solidify my draconic identity

This long winded (ha) rant is already messy and rambly as it is so I want to give it a close, write something more solid later, but lately I believe I am fully able to settle in more comfortably with the idea that I am a draconic coyote

My identity as a coyote shifter typically fits either as a werecoyote or just an animal, but I believe it's time to understand and accept that likely my draconic coyote identity is just as up there as that. I am a dragon <3

One of these days I plan on making a proper term for myself for my specific species of dragon if it doesn't already exist (please if it does lmk <3), but for now, I like the ring draconic coyote has to it

Thank you for reading if you did !! I'm sure this rant was long and exhausting as it is haha

[kulreulea]

What is a Kulreulian?

A Kulreulian is a human—genetically altered and neurologically transformed by a highly evolved strain of the rabies virus. No longer entirely human, and yet not fully something else, Kulreulians exist on the edge of science fiction and biological horror—living evidence of nature’s darkest mutations.

──────────────────

The Rabies Virus: A Brief Overview

Rabies is a neurotropic virus most commonly transmitted to humans through the saliva of infected animals, typically via a bite. In the United States, known carriers include bats, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks, while in developing countries, stray dogs remain the primary vector.

Once symptoms begin—hallucinations, hydrophobia, aggression—the virus is almost always fatal. For centuries, this knowledge drove medical efforts to contain and eliminate rabies through vaccines and post-exposure treatments.

──────────────────

The Collapse of Control: Rabies in the 21st and Early 22nd Century

By the late 21st century, these treatments began to fail. Despite humanity's best efforts, the virus adapted.

Subtle mutations allowed rabies to resist traditional vaccines. At first, the changes were barely noticed—occasional anomalies in treatment success rates. But over time, the strain became more aggressive, more intelligent in its infection patterns, and far more resilient.

It began attacking the nervous system in novel ways, exploiting pathways previously untouched. It altered behaviors more deeply, more completely. It no longer simply killed—it rewrote.

The Evolutionary Leap

As the virus evolved, it began integrating into the human genome. Its mutations extended beyond neurology, seeping into the very DNA of its hosts. The infected didn’t just suffer symptoms—they changed. Their bodies adapted to the virus. Their minds were reshaped. And their physiology began to reflect a terrifying new hybridization.

These altered humans—dubbed Kulreulians or Inhumans—represent a form of forced evolution. They exhibit heightened physical abilities, intelligence, extreme resistance to pain.

──────────────────

The Birth of a Kulreulian: Viral Legacy in the Womb

Despite its lethality, the evolved rabies virus—now considered a sentient strain by some xenovirologists—demonstrated remarkable strategic adaptation in the 22nd century. Once infected, a human host might show no signs of disease. In fact, most never do.

Modern vaccines, though increasingly ineffective in eliminating the virus completely, have succeeded in one way: they suppress active neurological infection. However, this only forces the virus to evolve further.

Rather than destroying its host, the virus waits.

Dormancy and Inheritance

In its dormant state, the virus embeds itself deep within the host's genome, undetected by the immune system and unaffected by standard antivirals. It lingers silently—harmless in appearance, but always present.

The true transformation doesn’t occur in the infected individual, but in their offspring.

During pregnancy, the virus exploits a narrow biological window. As the fetus begins to form, the virus—carried within the mother or father—activates. It bypasses immunological defenses and integrates into the developing embryo at the genetic level.

Over the course of nine months, the virus alters neurological pathways, enhances musculoskeletal development, and triggers dormant genes associated with primal survival instincts. The result is a child that is born fundamentally different from its parents.

──────────────────

Anatomy of a Kulreulian Birth

These children emerge with distinct features: heightened muscle density, sharpened reflexes, and eyes adapted for tracking movement in low light.

Every Kulreulian born this way is also a carrier. The virus lies encoded in their biology, present in their saliva, blood, and tissue. While the chances of transmission vary, a bite from a Kulreulian has a significantly high probability of spreading the dormant virus to others.

[catversary]

I think learning to communicate with an animal is like learning another language. Lots of people think, "Wow, I'd like to learn another language someday", and maybe they give it a good try, but most don't go through with it. It's a flight of fancy. Likewise, people who can *actually* thoroughly train and communicate with an animal, such as a domestic dog, cat, bird, etc. are few and far inbetween. I believe most pet-owners aren't fluent in communication with their pets, and that might abide for whatever purpose they choose to have a pet for, but there's always something lost in translation.

The worst is when someone decides to be a pet-owner without even attempting to learn the language. An example would be most owners on the show, "My Cat From Hell". The cats on that show behave "poorly" in their owners' eyes because they tear up furniture, hiss, scratch people, spray, etc. All undesirable human traits. However, these are all normal traits for a cat (who is stressed, traumatized, defensive, and most times just straight up under-stimulated) to have. It is frustrating to watch people who have no business owning a pet saying their animals are "unbehaved".

Worse still is people who think they can "commune" with wild, undomesticated (although I find domestication itself quite tricky to wrap my head around) animals. We hear about so many casualties due to exotic pets attacking the people who own them. The humans, in these cases, often attempt to raise wildlife like they would a human child - which is to say, with an expectation that the bare minimum of providing basic needs to it would enable it to have some kind of acknowledgement of morals. But this is silly. A tiger does not have morals. Neither does a chimp. Both of these animals are way stronger than you and both exhibit high aggression and hierarchical behavior in natural-born environments. It's idiotic to think that some part of this behavior is not genetically inherited. You can take a tiger out of the forest, but you can't escape that it is a 600lb animal evolved to chase prey.

We shouldn't pretend that animals can fully understand us. We also shouldn't use this to mean that all animals are less intelligent than us and therefore we can abuse them by shoving them into cages for food and profit. Because we, humans, have moral codes, foresight, and a higher capacity for pattern recognition, the onus is on us to effectively communicate ourselves to other animals (with training domestic animals and respecting with wildlife).

An untrained dog and a coyote both aren't going to understand you if you say, "Back!" even if you say it super eloquently and clear. Because they can't understand human languages. It's on you to (a) train your dog using the wealth of dog psychology that has been built by humanity's rich history of dog rearing, and (b) learn to protect yourself from wild coyotes by scaring them away from humans.

(A/N: This is not a diss on animal captivity, but it is a diss on a lot of pet ownership & wildlife interaction.)

[cyanophore-fiction]

You chose dare!

Give us a one-shot of Coyote and Pala where they are adopted by a current-day group of humans and their roomba. (assume they aren't being actively hunted at the moment)

Hi! I've been off for a few days, but I liked this prompt a lot. Thank you so much! Here's what I've got:

Things Are Okay

At first, Iris wouldn’t even stay in the same room as Coyote. Its initial attempts at establishing contact with her were abject failures. Squatting on its haunches, perfectly motionless with one hand extended toward her in greeting, Coyote would watch her reaction. Her behavior was remarkably consistent if uninterrupted:

Visual contact → halt all motion → standby for approximately three to six seconds → lower body closer to floor, preparing to bolt if necessary. After another eight to twelve seconds, she would take her chances and trot away, keeping her eyes on Coyote until line of sight was obstructed. Effective threat response, but if the intent was to reduce the chance of detection by staying motionless, she really shouldn’t swish her tail around. 

Coyote hadn’t meant to cause her stress, but it did so by simply existing in her territory. Pala elicited much less of a response, probably because it and Iris were about the same size. Coyote also guessed that Iris’s pattern recognition software probably had a better idea what to make of Coyote’s humanoid chassis than Pala’s arthropod design. She absolutely knew what to make of Coyote’s serrated teeth, so it made sure to keep its mouth sealed when she was nearby. 

Now, a few months after initial contact, she was purring in its lap. Coyote used a blanket to provide a soft surface for her to rest on—cermet armor was less than inviting. It reached down, claws covered by soft plastic caps, and pressed into the white fur around her ears. She pushed her head up into Coyote’s hand, eyes sliding shut, and stretched her forelegs out. A pang of anxiety registered as she did so, but Coyote forced the warning aside. Its claws were capped. The reticle over its vision confirmed that the flechette gun behind its palm was unloaded, the action locked open. Iris was safe.

Maya was across the room, reading in an armchair. Lowering her book, she watched, raising a mug of tea to her lips.

“She’s taken a liking to you,” she said.

“She has,” said Coyote. “Goes both ways.”

They sat for a while, listening to the rain against the window panes. Coyote looked out into the wall of green outside. Elms and pines rose above the undergrowth, leaves dark and wet. “Taking some time for the kids to get back today,” it said. “I can’t get a lock on Sanvi’s phone.”

“You more or less told her you could track it. As long as it’s on.”

Coyote paused. Cocked its head and smiled a little. “Oh. I get it.”

“The buses run slower in this weather. They’re okay.”

“Sorry.”

“For what?” she said, smiling. “Worrying about my daughter?”

“Not exactly used to safety yet,” it said. 

Pala’s signal was moving nearby, coming down the stairwell. It came into view as it reached the landing above the living room. On the step above it was the roomba, whirring along quietly. An antenna had been added to the roomba, held in place by superglue and a few wires running into the casing. Coyote heard a series of radio commands leap from Pala to the roomba. The machine turned, rolling neatly onto Pala’s back, and it transferred the machine to the next step down. Each time it finished sweeping a step, Pala repeated the process. 

[Having fun?] Coyote said. 

[This machine serves my inexorable will. I’m its god,] Pala said. [Yeah, it’s pretty okay.]

[That’s good.]

[I have a confession to make.]

[Let’s hear it.]

[You know the Millers?]

[Yeah. Patricia and Henry Miller, live next door at 202. Why?]

[Almost all of their appliances have wireless control.]

Coyote turned, glanced at Pala. [You didn’t.]

[No. But I could.] Pala said.

[We really need to find you something to do on a daily basis.]

[Oh, is that right? You and the cat still on the same nap schedule?]

[Excuse me, I’ll have you know I did a bang-up job of cleaning the gutters.]

[Records indicate that task took you thirty minutes.]

[True. Yeah, we could both use a little—]

“What are you two talking about?” Maya asked.

“Sorry,” said Coyote and Pala, their electronic voices in uncanny unison. Their entire radio conversation had taken place in less than six seconds. Over the past few months, Coyote and Pala had become more accustomed to the format of each other’s thoughts, and Coyote had even installed sections of Pala’s bleeding-edge operating system into itself. The new software made it feel as though its mind was oiled, free from inefficiencies that it didn’t even realize were there.

“It’s alright, I’d just like to be in the loop,” said Maya. 

“Kind of thinking about where we go from here,” said Pala, deactivating the roomba. 

“You and your family have been really kind to us,” Coyote said. “I’ve said it before, but we can’t thank you enough for taking us in. It just feels wrong to sit around here doing nothing.”

“Doing nothing?” Maya said, raising her eyebrows. “The two of you cook, you clean, you tutor the girls, you run errands, you can fix just about anything, and you don’t cost us a dime. Electricity, maybe, but the bill has barely changed. We’re more than happy to have you.”

Coyote cocked its head. It hadn’t considered that any of those tasks constituted actual work. They were just routines it followed, motions performed day in and day out. None of them required significant processing power or placed any strain on its components. 

“Are you thinking of leaving?”

“I don’t think so. Not sure where we’d go.” 

“Well, I’m glad to hear that. At this point, the girls would be heartbroken. If you’re having trouble finding work, maybe I can help. What are you interested in doing?”

Maya made the remark offhandedly, but the effect on Coyote was profound. Its sensory fins slowly rose, and it stared at her. It and Pala could seek employment, have a career—that was an option. Presented with the concept now, it was shocked that something so obvious had escaped it. Once the dam was cracked, everything that her suggestion entailed also made itself clear. 

Survival was no longer a question. It was assumed. In the absence of that overriding objective, new ones could be defined. They could find a pursuit they loved and follow it. They could find something they didn’t really love, and pursue it anyway because it was rewarding, profitable, necessary, or whatever the hell else. They could seek interesting challenges, or education, or to benefit others.

Coyote realized that Maya probably expected them to explain what was stopping them. Of course the prospect would have occurred to the pair of spirits she had offered shelter to, but some obstacle must be holding them back. Of course there would be something they wanted, something they were interested in. It was just something that people did. 

The corollary to that: Maya truly and implicitly thought of them as people. 

Maya looked on, brows knitting together with concern. “Is something wrong?”

“No, everything’s okay,” Coyote finally said. It glanced at Pala, who was also silent. In its lap, Iris made a purring sound and nuzzled its claws. “I just don’t think we’ve ever been asked that question.”

📍 Black Bears: A Unique Case

While black bears are classified as carnivores, they are actually omnivorous , meaning their diet consists of both meat and plants . Like humans, black bears have evolved to thrive on a varied diet:

Sharp teeth for cutting and consuming meat.

Flat-topped teeth for crushing vegetation, nuts, and berries.

This adaptability allows black bears to survive in a wide range of environments, from dense forests to open meadows.

📍 Teeth Adaptations

The teeth of carnivores and omnivores tell a story of their dietary habits:

Sharp teeth along the jawline are designed for cutting and shearing meat.

Flat-topped teeth are perfect for grinding and crushing plant material.

Understanding these adaptations helps hunters identify feeding patterns and anticipate animal movements in the wild.

📍 Importance for Hunters

Understanding the diets and behaviors of carnivores is essential for ethical hunting and wildlife management:

Recognizing feeding signs can help track animals and predict their movements.

TW: the current Neil Gaimen situation

Been hearing about the Neil Gaimen situation and I have to say, if what's being said is true I can't say im surprise,

Especially given his (tmk) consistent pattern of lying, cheating, two-faced behavior in general and behind the scenes politicking among quite a few other things (really taking after Moore in that respect but unlike Moore, Neil was able to actually mask how much of a ahole he was for a while, at least to the public),

This is including the massive amount of shadyness surrounding his family and there scientology connections (he actually, to my understanding made a musical about a time his family did the bear minimum to help a mentally ill man, with him eventually killing himself, he painted the man as a asshole in the musical mind you, really showing ya care about the mentally ill, aren't ya Neil) not to mention the offensively bad dumpster fire that was American Gods (at least imo)

Not only do I think the rules of the universe are fundamentally flawed, but the Coyote slander and misunderstanding and later Johnny Appleseed mischaracterization were both points that genuinely made me gutterally upset, especially since this story was supposed to be "the best modern story on mythology everrrr" and instead I was met with the shit fanfiction written by a snoody jackass who turns out, is allegedly a quite the bad sex pest

Honestly, I take NO pleasure in writing this at all, I genuinely enjoy and love Neil Gaimen's work, the way he expanded and explored and added a certain, unique texture to the cosmology of DC comics inspired a great deal in my approach to the cosmology of my own stories for example, he is a fantastic story teller, to bad he's a shit man, oozing with hypocrisy and greed, and it sucks that I have to add another asterisk to another name on my list of inspirations

I'm mad yes, but not flamingly upset, that burnt out quite a while ago, and now I just feel particularly solemn at this whole situation

(And, on the most bittersweet and depressing note, at least I'm used to and know how to separate the art from the artist for myself, I've had to do it so much I might aswell be a pro lol)

Wildlife Watching in Merced, California: Best Spots and Tips.

Nestled in the heart of California's Central Valley, Merced offers a wealth of opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts. From lush wetlands to sprawling nature reserves, the region boasts a diverse array of habitats that support a rich variety of fauna. Whether you're a seasoned birder, an amateur photographer, or simply seeking to reconnect with nature, Merced provides ample opportunities to observe wildlife in their natural habitats. Here's a guide to some of the best spots and tips for wildlife watching in Merced, California.

Best Wildlife Watching Spots

1. Merced National Wildlife Refuge

Located just south of the city, the Merced National Wildlife Refuge is a premier destination for birdwatching. The refuge spans over 10,000 acres and features seasonal wetlands that attract thousands of migratory birds, including snow geese, sandhill cranes, and various species of ducks.

Best Time to Visit: Fall and winter are ideal for birdwatching as migratory birds flock to the refuge during these seasons.

2. San Luis National Wildlife Refuge

Situated west of Merced, the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge offers diverse habitats ranging from grasslands to riparian woodlands. The refuge is home to a variety of wildlife, including tule elk, coyotes, and a plethora of bird species.

Best Time to Visit: Year-round opportunities, with spring and early summer being particularly vibrant due to nesting and breeding activities.

3. Yosemite National Park

While primarily known for its stunning landscapes, Yosemite National Park also harbors a rich diversity of wildlife. Visitors may encounter black bears, mule deer, and a wide array of bird species amidst the park's forests, meadows, and rugged terrain.

Best Time to Visit: Wildlife viewing is excellent throughout the year, with spring and early summer offering optimal conditions for spotting animals amidst blooming wildflowers.

4. Lake Yosemite

Closer to Merced, Lake Yosemite provides a tranquil setting for observing waterfowl, such as ducks and herons. The lake's scenic surroundings make it an ideal spot for photography and leisurely wildlife watching.

Best Time to Visit: Year-round, though mornings and evenings tend to be more active times for birdwatching.

Tips for Wildlife Watching

1. Bring Binoculars and Cameras

Wildlife watching often involves observing animals from a distance. Binoculars and telephoto lenses for cameras can enhance your experience by allowing you to see details up close without disturbing the animals.

2. Respect Wildlife and Their Habitat

Always maintain a safe distance from animals and refrain from feeding or approaching them. Respect their natural behaviors and habitats to minimize stress and disruption.

3. Dress Appropriately

Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes suitable for walking on trails and uneven terrain. Consider bringing layers, especially during cooler months or early morning outings.

How to Trap Coyotes

Coyote trapping is an art that blends science, patience, and a bit of old-fashioned know-how. Whether you're managing a farm, protecting livestock, or contributing to wildlife conservation efforts, understanding the ins and outs of trapping these clever canines can make all the difference. Let's dive into the essentials of coyote trapping, from the behavior of these adaptable predators to the legalities and ethics of setting the perfect trap. Key Takeaways: - Coyote behavior is crucial for effective trapping. - Legal and ethical considerations are paramount. - Proper equipment and preparation set the stage for success. Understanding Coyote Behavior Coyotes are some of the most adaptable and intelligent predators in North America. They thrive in a variety of habitats, from dense forests to urban sprawls. Their behavior changes with the seasons, affecting their activity patterns and how they interact with traps. In spring and summer, they're often on the move with pups in tow, making them more cautious. Come fall and winter, their focus shifts to hunting and survival, potentially making them easier to lure into traps. Seasonal Behavior Impact: Season Behavior Impact on Trapping Spring Rearing pups, cautious Increased wariness, trap shyness Summer Expanding territories More exploratory, but cautious Fall Hunting, food gathering Higher trap success rates Winter Survival mode Potentially easier to lure Legal Considerations and Ethics Before setting a single trap, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations. These can vary widely from one jurisdiction to another and may dictate everything from the type of traps you can use to how often they must be checked. Ethical trapping practices not only ensure the welfare of the coyotes but also protect non-target wildlife and pets that might stumble upon your traps. Ethical Trapping Practices: - Use humane traps that minimize harm. - Check traps regularly to avoid unnecessary suffering. - Release non-target animals safely. Equipment and Preparation The right equipment is your best ally in the field. A basic coyote trapping kit includes foothold traps, cage traps, or snares, each with its own set of advantages. Foothold traps, when used correctly, are effective and humane, allowing for the release of non-target animals. Cage traps are less invasive but can be bulky and less effective in wild settings. Snares, while efficient, require precise placement and are not legal in all areas. Essential Trapping Equipment: Equipment Purpose Notes Foothold Trap Capturing coyotes Choose offset jaws for humane capture Cage Trap Non-lethal capture Best for urban areas Snares Efficient capture Use with caution; check legality Camouflage Conceal traps Natural materials or commercial covers Tools Setting and checking traps Hammer, sifter, gloves Preparing your traps involves more than just mechanical maintenance. Camouflaging your trap to blend with the natural environment can significantly increase your success rate. This might mean covering a foothold trap with leaves and debris or disguising a cage trap with branches and brush. Trap Preparation Tips: - Clean and maintain your traps regularly to ensure they function properly. - Camouflage your traps using materials from the surrounding area. - Practice setting your traps to reduce setup time in the field. Understanding coyote behavior, adhering to legal and ethical standards, and preparing with the right equipment are foundational steps in coyote trapping. These initial preparations pave the way for the strategic placement of traps and the nuanced techniques that make trapping both a challenge and a rewarding pursuit.   Choosing the Right Location Finding the perfect spot to set your trap is like solving a puzzle. Coyotes are creatures of habit, using specific trails and marking territories with scat and urine. Identifying these signs can guide you to high-traffic areas where coyotes are likely to encounter your trap. Look for paths along field edges, water sources, and natural funnels that coyotes use to move through an area. Signs of Coyote Presence: Sign Indication Best Action Tracks Recent activity Set traps nearby Scat Territory marking Ideal for scent lures Paths Regular use Place traps along or near Baiting and Luring Coyotes The right bait can make all the difference in attracting coyotes to your trap. From commercial lures to homemade concoctions, the key is to trigger the coyote's curiosity or hunger. Use a combination of scents to appeal to their senses, placing them strategically to guide the coyote directly to your trap. Remember, less is often more when it comes to baiting; you want to pique their interest, not satisfy it from afar. Effective Bait and Lures: Type Description Usage Tip Commercial Lures Formulated scents Use sparingly for curiosity Homemade Bait Meat-based concoctions Place deep in dirt holes Urine Scents Fox or coyote urine Mark territory near traps Checking and Managing Traps Regularly checking your traps is not only a legal requirement but also a matter of ethics.
