<p>omg, I can’t believe these people are afraid of coyotes. hahaha lol. I get it, I mean if you’ve never seen anything wilder than a hawk, coyotes can seem intimidating. Still, all of you growing up on the coasts or in big cities, don’t comment or I’ll laugh at you too.</p>

<p>I live on the East Coast & we get coyotes all the time</p>

<p>rofl… I thought this was going to be about older women professors stalking students… Carry on smartly…</p>

<p>I thought the same thing. Is a coyote different than a cougar, tho?</p>

<p>And on this note, are there any attractive and/or cougar-ish profs (tenure-track, not grad students) at CU? The only female prof I remember having was a MELAC prof who was neither.</p>

<p>@Traveler
Columbia is on a coast and in the largest city in the US. There are lots of coyotes on the periphery of East coast cities…</p>

<p>Cougar is the more often used one…though I’ve heard both being used… On profs, I don’t know about Columbia but I had two very attractive female profs at Harvard…but few attractive men… unless Bill Kristol is your type–middle aged, very short, very right wing…lol</p>

<p>I think it’s okay to be scared of any animal that is:</p>

<ol>
<li>A predator.</li>
<li>On your island which, normally, doesn’t play host to predators this size.</li>
<li>Being followed on Drudge Report.</li>
</ol>

<p>He’s on the Drudge front page now:</p>

<p>Hard to be scared of him.</p>

<p>Sigh, I didn’t mean the coasts and the east don’t have them, I meant most people living on the coasts don’t see them. So I get why your afraid, but I’m still laughing. Have any of you seen coyotes for real? Their not that big, usually no more than 50 pounds. And any of you who know anything about camping/hiking/venturing into wilderness know that a single coyote is nothing to be afraid of. They’ll do their best to avoid you. If there’s anything to worry about at Columbia as far as animals are concerned, I’ll be watching for feral dogs.</p>
