In such situations, some coyotes have begun to act aggressively toward humans, chasing joggers and bicyclists, confronting people walking their dogs, and stalking small children. [185] Albeit rarely, coyotes in these areas have targeted small children, mostly under the age of 10, though some adults have been bitten. [188]

Coyote mocks them all, vowing that human beings should have his own wit and cunning. Each animal makes a human model in their own likeness; but overnight Coyote destroys the other models, so that only his own model comes to life. [4] A Maidu myth says that as the Creator was fashioning various creatures out of clay, Coyote tried to do the same.
