Such a tragic loss. Her voice is wonderful. I like her music.

Here is her MySpace page. She would have made it big in the music industry.

Here is her Website Taylor Mitchells website

I read an article that stated coyotes and wolves were mating, creating creatures with the hunting instincts of wolves, and they also have pack instincts.

I didn't read it on the internet, it was an article from a newspaper about 3 months back, so I can't get proper quotes.
Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back. The only path to
serenity.

Coyote attacks on humans

Here is a website explaining something about the wolf/coyote hybrid. But i have read lots of web pages today about this incident and there are more experts out there saying that there are no wolves in the area where she died. As well, after reading through her website guest book i discovered that there was inside information about 5 coyotes attacking her and not 2 but its not being officially said because it cannot be confirmed.

I am posting this up because this kind of attack to the best of my knowledge has never happened before. I still can't fathom how this happened. Coyotes are shy and afraid of people. I always considered them too small to attack or kill an adult human.



Oh they can be quite large. There's a pair roaming around my neighborhood that are just slightly smaller than a German Shepard. They are at least as tall, probably weigh a little less, but they're close. If they chose, they could do some serious damage to an average sized woman I'm sure. But my experience is that they are very shy as well. But, if they're protecting young, hungry, or have another issue, I have no doubt that they can and will attack.
