    They are Coywolf, hybrids that are like slightly smaller wolves or more aggressive coyotes.

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted, the term Coywolf is in the Wikipedia article

      Sometimes true, but not in this case.

      Various other proposed explanations why the unusual attack occurred included that the coyotes might have been larger and bolder than normal coyotes because they were crosses with wolves or domestic dogs, rabid, starving, or protecting a carcass.None of these suggestions were subsequently borne out

      They just got tough and mean on their own.
