Urban Coyotes
Although interactions between coyotes and humans are generally rare, they can become dangerous and tragic. Coyotes are increasingly seen in urban areas because:
- Coyotes will adapt to many different types of environments.
- They produce a high number of pups, which gives them an advantage for survival and success.
- Their diet is varied enough that they can find food beyond their usual habitat.
- Humans have altered the landscape in a way that invites coyotes to move into areas where people live.
