A startling picture of a large coyote glaring through the front window of a home was posted by a local Reddit user in Westdale.
“This rather large coyote paid me a visit at 8:30 am this past Saturday in Westdale,” posted the Hamilton Reddit user under the name altruly.
The coyote then continued to hang around for a couple of hours taking a nap on the neighbour’s lawn.
Redditors were quick to comment on the size of the coyote and wonder whether it was a coyote and wolf hybrid considering its size.
“I wonder if that is a “coywolf”, because it does look very large for a coyote, which also tend to have more of a fox looking face than this guy,” wrote Reddit user uncivlengr.
Another Reddit user followed up later to say that animal control was notified and the location of the coyote was recorded.
Although this coyote appeared to be more interested in napping, the City of Hamilton does say that coyotes can be dangerous for children and pets and that caution should be taken.
The City says if you are confronted by a coyote to remain calm and wait until they move on. If the coyote persists you should make a loud noise by clapping or shouting to scare the coyote away.
