Wild Video Shows Moment a Fearless Cat Chases Spooked Coyote Out of a Canadian Parking Lot

Video footage shows a coyote lurking around a parking lot at night, before a stray black cat jumps out from under a parked car and chases the wild animal away.

Port Moody Police Department in British Columbia, Canada, shared the clip on Friday through Twitter and wrote: “The things our patrol officers see at 4am... cat 1, coyote 0. #portmoody #neveradullmoment @PMPDcat.” The post has since surpassed 22,000 views.

Many Twitter users have commented on the video. One user wrote: “Wile E. Coyote found out Sylvester has a temper.” “This is why I prefer cats to dogs,” wrote another.

There was concern in the tweet's replies that the coyote was part of a pack and luring the cat away to an ambush, as they've been known to do. But the police department assured followers that the cat was unharmed.

“Thankfully that's not the case,” they wrote in response to the concerns.

“We followed the lone coyote out of the area,” the reply explained. “And the same cat was seen doing it's [sic] rounds in the parking lot again this early morning!”

Coyote sightings have become common in British Columbia, with the Stanley Park Ecology Society reporting more than 40 sightings in Vancouver this month, including at least three aggressive interactions.

The British Columbia government has published resources on coyote sightings — noting that they “are generally not a threat to humans” — and provided a list of safety precautions people can take if they cross paths with one of the animals.

“Wild coyotes are naturally curious animals, however, they are timid and will usually run away if challenged,” the website reads. “Coyotes start posing a risk to people when they lose their wariness and become comfortable around humans — this is usually a result of direct or indirect feeding by humans.”

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...
