also leave a like right now just imagine being curled up in your 500 thread count sheets sound asleep in your familiar bed only to awaken to the sound of animals screeching it happened to oklahoma resident bonnie moriarty she woke up in shock her heart beating faster than ever never did bonnie think the night would lead to her wielding a golf club as a makeshift weapon but she had little choice but to fight for her life my husband was out of town so my poor kids are upstairs and i'm screaming bonnie moriarty explained remembering that disaster of a night in september 2018 there was no way to see an emergency such as hers coming not in quiet bixby oklahoma initially bonnie didn't feel as though her and her children weren't any danger she was ripped from her soothing rem sleep around 4 am by the sound of her cat screeching bonnie rolled her eyes simply thinking this behavior just comes with the territory see bonnie also had a dog a miniature schnauzer to be exact so she figured the two animals got in a little spat but panic started to consume her once she heard the animals stampeding down the hall bonnie's hissing cat stormed into her bedroom at lightning speed rather than bonnie's dog following shortly behind an enormous mammal came shuffling into the room bonnie's face turned pale white a furry four-legged beast came plundering in appearing to be some kind of canine one that looked much more daunting than her fluffy pooch it must have come from the section of woodland behind the backyard and it was now standing mere feet from bonnie and her cat she stared at the animal for a second before realizing the frightening truth holy crud i've got a coyote stuck in my bedroom moriarty remembered thinking in the moment that's right a coyote chased her cat around the house and into her bedroom though it seems wild as of 2020 bixby residents have been losing pets and small livestock in recent years all due to a sudden increase in coyotes in the surrounding area lock up those doggy doors folks that's what the neighbors will tell you jeremy hall who has lived in bixby for seven years explained to reporters that people witness these neighborhood coyotes on almost a daily basis they either come right through here or they will come right in front of the nursing home on this highway he said they have grown as a pack jeremy hall stated it started off i believe as just one or two i think they have grown over the years had a few litters while bonnie refused to lose her beloved pets she snatched up a nearby golf club before she could react the situation got even more complicated bonnie was prepared to defend herself in her kitty but before she knew it her miniature schnauzer ran into the room bravely barking at the coyote defending his family the coyote confused and afraid coward in the corner and remained still naturally coyotes are timid animals so when the untamed canine ran into a room with an unfamiliar human who grabbed a golf club for self-defense it was beyond scared typically if a coyote lingers around a human said person should begin hazing the animal hazing is a defense mechanism that involves any action that makes a person appear as big and sound as loud as physically possible granted bonnie was far from a wild animal expert wave or flail your arms around clap your hands scream at the top of your lungs but never run or turn your back to a coyote bonnie may not have known to do this but grabbing a golf club didn't hurt her situation the coyote already felt confused and threatened just the same by this point bonnie's kids were awake trying to remain calm for their mom who courageously shuffled to the bedroom door locking the unpredictable ant wild animal in the room her heart was racing and it was time to call for help with shaky fingers and a golf club in hand bonnie called the bixby police department it wasn't long before three officers arrived at the scene ready to capture the muddled canine they came with i'm sure there's a term for it a stick with a little loop on the end bonnie told reporters so i had three policemen in my room trying to get the coyote out prepared with an animal catcher pull the bixby police officers cornered the petrified coyote two of them managing to get the loops around its neck they safely dragged the canine out of the house and released it into the woodland home able to breathe again bonnie made herself a promise though bonnie feels safe in her community she likely learned to tightly close and lock her back door nightly as she believes the curious canine followed her indoor outdoor cat inside through the back door he lunged at the door and the door opened she said well lesson learned bonnie from then on made sure the only animals taking up space in her house were her beloved cat and dog as well as her mangy kids and while bonnie moriarty was able to detect what variation of canine her intruder was not everyone is quite so lucky in fact just before bonnie's terrifying encounter another family found themselves face to face with a wild canine only this time they were on his turf although the o'reillys called new hampshire their home they spent far more time outside the house ian and allison passed on their passion for the great outdoors to their kids before they could even walk but the parents never expected to place their children in danger see around the o'reilly's home in exeter police were trying to track down an animal culprit harassing locals one 62 year old woman and her frightened dogs had to flee when a predator chased them out of the woods another resident got a much better look at the beast he was just driving down the road when a wild coyote attempted to attack him through his car the glass and steel protected him though it didn't make sense why the animal was so aggressive alison and ian heard these reports but didn't worry about them too much after all new hampshire was a big place full of wildlife they wouldn't let a couple of scares ruin their plans for a wintry hike in 2020. the five o'reillys were retracing a trek they'd completed just a few weeks prior it took just about two and a half hours the perfect amount of time to stretch their legs without tiring the kids out what could go wrong the second journey began much like the first everyone took in the picturesque views and shared jokes and stories they were having such a fun time that nobody noticed a stranger was stalking them against all odds the coyote found them in the new england wilderness the o'reillys didn't see the feral canine at first until it announced its presence in the most horrifying way imaginable it pounced on their preschool-aged son alison yanked him out from under the creature not yet realizing the threat they were facing instead the couple was thinking it was a dog off leash who just bumped into their son then the truth clicked in ian's mind this was no dog this was a bloodthirsty predator and they were the prey not knowing what else to do the dad stepped between the coyote and his family he was terrified of what would happen next ian's top priority was getting his wife and kids to safety he yelled at them to run as fast as they could turning back toward the coyote ian lifted his heavy hiking boot and kicked its ribs with all his might that only made the rabbit canine even angrier it knocked into the ground toppling him just as easily as it did the young child and bit at his chest fangs tore right through the hiker's winter jacket and punctured his skin ian managed to spot his family vanishing in the distance and he shouted for them to keep moving at that moment his terror gave way to anger what business did this animal have for attacking his family ian was going to teach it a lesson a talented endurance athlete ian clamped his hands around the canine snout and squeezed its body with his legs that completely shut off any air flow in the predator's windpipe that coyote was very much interested in living but so were we he later reflected ian didn't let the coyote go as it could easily sprint off and go after his kids exhausted he kept up the pressure until the animal stopped breathing he realized he'd killed the beast out of pure instinct like it was almost like a logical next step of course ian was much worse for the wear every muscle in his body shook with fatigue and he was bleeding all over from claw and bite marks the father limped back to his family and allison whisked him off to the hospital the o'reillys have been surprisingly well adjusted since the harrowing attack allison's work as a ptsd trauma expert helped them all though their youngest had trouble sleeping in his own bed afterwards and this wasn't the o'reilly's only brush with danger as much as they traveled the o'reilly family had their first brush with the uglier side of nature in their own backyard ian was startled when he heard his son utter a cry of delight followed by a scream it turned out a raccoon and a rabid one at that was living under the porch the vicious creature bit the o'reilly boy on his knee as alison pulled him away from the raccoon a scab on her hand was exposed to his wound both mother and son needed rabies vaccinations afterward but made immediate recoveries in a sense ian counted himself lucky as unfortunate as the raccoon attack was the family is hopefully predator-free for the foreseeable future but ian is still traumatized the rustle of a bush still makes ian's heart beat faster but he doesn't let that fear keep him from his outdoor adventures he can at least take comfort in knowing he defended his family however a debate regarding natural predators is splitting wildlife enthusiasts all over the country if you were hiking through a remote part of california a few years ago you might have been warned about grizzly bears but the chances of coming face to face with any other potentially dangerous animals especially wolves wasn't very likely in fact coming across an actual wolf sounds fairly far-fetched to a regular tourist or hiker in the early 1920s though this was a different story back then wolves prowled california's remote forests and farms alike which posed a dangerous problem because of this farmers and wolves were constantly at odds farmers often hunted wolves in hopes of avoiding a barnyard massacre they couldn't have known then the damage they were inflicting and not just on the wolves in 1924 the very last grey wolf was killed for the next 90 years california didn't have any wolves in an area that could support up to 500 of them unbeknownst to farmers the species absence shifted the balance of the ecosystems they used to inhabit wolves keep elk and deer in check which helps vegetation not get overeaten the vegetation provides nesting habitat for migrating birds and building material for beavers which creates ponds for frogs and fish said biologist emma rock weiss and this domino effect was not only noticed by biologists see if something good came out of the mass wolf killings in the 20s it was the negative effects alerted researchers nationwide to the dwindling population of grey wolves so in 1975 the gray wolf received federal endangered species protections but there weren't any wolves left to protect that is until 2011 when one lone gray wolf wandered into siskiyou county from oregon biologists were stunned by the sudden reemergence without a pact to lead or to protect him this endangered wolf had traveled into an entirely new state and immediately became an icon though biologists designated him or7 activists named him journey in honor of his daring cross state trek a gps caller tracked and recorded his personal hike as well as his encounters with other animals according to his gps caller journey found a mate likely another migrated wolf and added five pups to the state's gray wolf population he then migrated back to oregon and fathered more pups it seemed like those were the last wild wolf pups california would ever see it was believed that as of 2015 the population of gray wolves in california was an alarmingly small seven since two of the seven wolves were wearing gps collars biologists thought that enough of the state's wolves were being tracked so imagine biologists shock when in 2019 two adult wolves were seen caring for three young pups in california biologists had no idea these wolves were even there let alone that they were having pups even more unexpected was the way biologists discovered the pack the pack was seen hunting and resting on a trail camera in a remote part of lassen county the three pups snacked on grass and held at each other before passing through though it only lasts a minute this footage created a huge stir in the environmental community having wolves return to california is one of the most significant environmental developments in conservation in this state weiss asserted this sounds like triumphant news for conservationists and activists everywhere but some people are far from happy about the wolves return farmers and hunters have always tried to subdue the wolf population in california in order to protect their valuable sheep and cattle and this didn't change when california's fish and game commission granted gray wolves special protection under the state's endangered species act in 2014 now that the population seemed to be slowly ratcheting upwards farmers are once again in fear of their livestock being hunted when california's farm bureau federation took the matter to court the fate of the wolves was put in jeopardy farmers weren't the only group threatening california's wolf population either the federal government too pushed to remove gray wolves from the endangered species list meaning they would no longer benefit from federal protection everything it seemed would all come down to the lawsuit in the end the consensus among the scientific community and the court was clear no matter what happened at a federal level california's gray wolves would be protected under the state law in a perfect world this would keep the gray wolves safe from hunters if they're coming from the oregon side of the border or from nevada once they set a paw down in california they are protected weiss said but these idealistic words would not become a reality anytime soon late last year a california-born wolf pack mysteriously vanished in remote siskiyou county since the biologists weren't able to collar any pack members they may never know what happened to the pack what's more they're not the only mystery to plague california's department of fish and wildlife they're also investigating the death of a young wolf that was mysteriously killed in modoc county it was handled as a criminal investigation and the police warn the public that killing a wolf is a potential crime punishable with imprisonment these tragic events only make the recent pact sighting on the trail camera all the more inspiring despite the resistance from the farming community biologists remain hopeful that the wolves will one day lead many wild packs across california and beyond anyone doubting the importance of wolves need look no further than yellowstone national park in the 80s and early 90s the beautiful scenery was completely ravaged and it was all thanks to the wolves or lack thereof see as mentioned before 1926 yellowstone national park was full of wolves they thrived there but within the first few decades of the 1900s government predator control programs wiped them out entirely this was a problem no one saw another wolf until 1977 about 50 years later but even then it was a lone wolf or two merely wandering through oddly it was the lack of these wolves that led to the park's decline with no predators to fear the deer population absolutely exploded they could eat and over graze all they wanted without worrying about wolves soon the forests and meadows were barren but the deer and the ilk kept at it as the deer kept grazing taking all the resources for themselves the other animals suffered creatures that dined on fauna stood no chance in the food race against deer animals that ate those animals saw their food supply dwindle and the rapid loss of vegetation didn't just leave the forest bare without vegetation keeping soil in place the rivers that ran through yellowstone began eroding which prompted the loss of many animal species who relied on healthy waters to survive yellowstone was struggling and park employees needed to find a solution it really all boiled down to the high numbers of deer they knew so in 1995 they hatched a plan the deer needed predators plain and simple and workers figured this would be the perfect time to reintroduce wolves back into yellowstone packs of gray wolves were released into the park and hopeful employees prayed it was the answer now the deer were suddenly thrust back into the predator versus prey world and even though there were far fewer wolves than deer the wolves were fearsome hunters they welcomed the challenge day and night the battle ensued and the wolves were the victors nearly every time this relationship between the wolves and deer is known as top-down control top-down control is when predators who sit atop the food chain assist with the regulation of the animals who are beneath them that's exactly what happened when the wolves were reintroduced with deer numbers dwindling the vegetation flourished aspen and willow trees that hadn't seen a successful life for decades finally grew back tenfold and it seemed that they were healthier than ever but the trees were just the very beginning of the massive change the waterways running through the parks began changing and the regenerated vegetation growing on the riverbeds brought with it a whole new array of life not seen in such a long time for the first time in forever beavers returned to the water they began constructing their intricate dams which contributed to a habitat that attracted a variety of reptiles otters and muskrats because of the increased vegetation mice and rabbits thrived which in turn gave the red fox an amazing feasting opportunity red fox numbers grew and still there was even more happening the number of bears also increased the deer had scoured bushes and ate the same berries the bears enjoyed but with the berries now finally plentiful again the bears could eat without a problem through it all the wolves gained a feathery friend ravens are known to follow behind wolves and pick at the remains of whatever they hunt and kill the four-legged assassins were hard at work and those ravens were always close behind the new lush vegetation not only benefited all of the animals but it helped drastically slow down and sometimes completely stop the erosion of river beds the changes were nothing short of miraculous incredibly the wolves although nowhere near as abundant in number as the deer they hunted managed to not only change the ecosystem but the physical geography of yellowstone national park it was a feat that had every park employee and wolf howling with joyous pride what's most shocking about this development was how few wolves it took to really change yellowstone for the better still this reflects a human truth it only took a handful of people to make a huge difference [Music] you
