I caught a coyote in late February one year. Only visible hair was a tuft on the tip of its tail. I have no idea how that thing survived the Winter. It had to have been living in someplace that had some warmth.

When my kids were little (20yrs ago or so smile ) I spotted a coyote in my front pasture that was probably 90% hairless.

It was sub freezing and spitting snow.

I went to get a gun to put it out of it's misery and by the time I got a gun unlocked and loaded it was nowhere to be found.
I felt terrible for that poor thing as it surely suffered a terrible death.

Dad was deer hunting once near some stored rolls of hay, looked away from hay a minute and when he looked back there was a coyote with bad mange standing near the bales. Dad figured he had been burrowed in between the bales in the empty space underneath so it could stay warm

I don't want to see any animal suffer a terrible death
And when numbers reach a certain level there is a dieoff resulting in terrible deaths for a lot (mange, distemper, etc)
