text: what eats a coyote? i am doing a project for school and need to know this answer thanks in advance few animals will prey on adult coyotes, a few exceptions are, wolves,coyotes cougars and bears. pups on the other hand are subject to become prey  for numerous predators, including large birds of prey, badgers,fishers and other large weasels and lynx. once dead any scavenger will go for it, from carrion beetles to vultures.
