"Coyotes have become practically ubiquitous across the lower 48 United States,
and they’re increasingly turning up in cities. The draws are abundant food and
green space in urban areas.
At first these appearances were novelties, like the hot summer day in 2007 when
a coyote wandered into a Chicago Quiznos sub shop and jumped into the beverage
cooler. Within a few years, however, coyote sightings became common in the
Bronx and Manhattan. In 2021 a coyote strolled into a Los Angeles Catholic
school classroom. They’re also appearing in Canadian cities.
People often fear for their own safety, or for their children or pets, when
they learn about coyotes in their neighborhoods. But as an interdisciplinary
team studying how people and coyotes interact in urban areas, we know that
peaceful coexistence is possible – and that these creatures actually bring some
benefits to cities."
