When friends of ours lived at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, there would be "warnings" to "keep your children in the house as coyotes have been spotted"...........just saying.
Coyote attacks on adult humans is very very rare, but be sure, they will take a small child or pet when the opportunity come up. I have attached a link to an accurate assessment of these animals.
