Realistically, I'd imagine the cougar leaving them alone due to the numbers, and it often takes 3 coyotes to drive a grey wolf off, but if all of these coyotes were willing to fight a cougar to the death, do you all think they could succeed?

Difficult to say. I'd give a 100 kg cougar a slight edge over eight 20 kg coyothes, but that's just IMO. In all honesty, I find this match-up hard to imagine.

I'm just trying to imagine eight (at least relatively speaking) small coyotes attempting to attack a man-sized or bigger cougar.
I don't exactly know how to "take this match".

I forgot to add a 50/50 poll. I can't do it for some reason now.

This single coyote is certainly making to cougar work for its victory

Damn, these canines are more durable than I thought! How did that not get killed? Not surprised it escape though, because canines can run for a while, while felines are designed for short bursts of speeds. Canines are long distance runners and felines are sprinters.

I just wonder how the coyote got in the dominating position its in at the start of the video. The cougar appears to be very young, but it's still impressive that the coyote is dominating the fight at the beginning, and this is a western coyote to boot,they are much smaller in general.

Perhaps being young, the cougar messed up and got caught. Maybe coyote attacked first. |

I'd give it to the coyote group.

How many coyotes would die in the attempt?

8 coyotes is just too much for a cougar, but I think 2-4 coyotes would be killed.

8 coyotes is too much. The cougar can kill many, but it won't kill all.

I say that the cat would kill one coyote quickly, and once it repeats that a few times, the coyotes would no longer be able to inflict enough damage to the cat due to their numbers being reduced, and then the coyotes would lose, but in this progress, the cat can be seriously wounded, that it cannot keep fighting, so if 8x 15kg coyote vs 60kg cougar, then cougar 51/49

I'm surprised that the poll is so one-sided. I find it very difficult, but I think the coyotes have an edge to due their greater stamina which is very important in this match.

Yes, I'd favor the coyotes also. Once the mountain lion gasses out, it's only a matter of time until it goes down.
