In the wild, infectious diseases such as mange, canine distemper, and rabies are common causes of death. Human activities, such as hunting, vehicle collisions, and habitat destruction, also pose significant threats. Occasionally, they also fall victim to larger animals such as wolves or cougar. In addition, coyotes compete with lynx and bobcats for similar prey. They also compete with the red fox, which they may kill.
