Strike Force
Coyotes may have longer teeth and stronger bites, but they are heavier than coyotes. This characteristic can give pitbulls an advantage, helping them gain a higher strike force.
This force is measured by multiplying the speed at the moment of the impact by the body mass.
Thus, a large pitbull weighing 75 pounds and running at full speed could generate an impact force up to 2,250 lb.-ft./s, which is about 70 pounds of force.
Coyotes might not be as heavy as pitbulls, but they are faster. A coyote weighing 50 pounds and running at full speed could generate an impact force of about 2,150 lb.-ft./s or 66 pounds.
While these numbers show that pitbulls are physically stronger than coyotes, the difference isn’t huge. As such, larger coyotes are often more powerful than smaller pitbulls.
Jumping Abilities
While coyotes are fast, pitbulls can surely jump. As high as 13 feet into the air, to be more precise. They might not be as fast as coyotes when running, but they can cover an impressive distance with just one leap – something coyotes can’t do.
In fact, a coyote can only jump about three feet into the air. But just because they can’t jump too high, it doesn’t mean that coyotes can’t overcome vertical obstacles. In fact, coyotes have strong hind legs and can climb over fences when necessary.
In a potential fight against a pitbull, a coyote could use its climbing ability to flee.
Pitbull vs Coyote: Who would win in a fight?
In a fight between Pitbulls and coyotes, the former might win when it comes to power. That’s because Pitbulls bite harder than coyotes.
However, coyotes are fiercer than Pitties.
And that means the former can fight more aggressively.
Now, that’s just 1 of the many contrasts between these 2 dogs.
So, to decide which canine is the winner…
