"The Intrepid Urban Coyote: Behavioral Difference Between Urban and Rural Environments"

- There is strong evidence that coyotes exhibit more "exploratory" behavior in urban environments

- This is due to relatively low level "flight response" ... i.e. they are more resistant to hazing methods (loud noises, "shaker cans", water hoses, etc.)
- Another study measured how urban coyotes responded to hazing and found that a number of coyotes would even approach people as they were attempting to scare or haze the coyotes

Heads up to everyone out walking their dogs!

“This is a time of year when coyotes have young pups and can exhibit aggressive behavior in defense of dens, especially towards domestic dogs. Oftentimes, coyote dens are close to communities and populated areas where there is potential for negative interactions,” officials said in an emailed statement.

This is unfortunate but in our effort to provide useful public safety information its important to know that especially this time of year coyotes are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior in defense of territory and family members.

Take simple precautions like keeping dogs on leash, keeping situational awareness, and choosing walk routes in areas less likely to have den sites.

Unfortunate to say the least - but the reality is that coyotes live in our neighborhoods and this can happen to anyone in an instant.

This type of incident should not be considered normal, as it is rare. However people often downplay the reality that coyotes are predators and will take opportunities as they come.

Fortunately "kenny doggins" 😆 will recover just fine.

Camera man did the right thing here, keep pet leashed and doesn't approach. Just like the coyote was doing, mind your business and they will likely do the same.

When encountering coyotes in natural areas, it is rare for them to show aggressive behavior (especially during the day).

Dawn and dusk are typically hunting hours for coyotes, which is when keeping the property safe becomes more important. Especially since this is typically when we are letting our pets out to avoid the summer heat.

In St. Albert (Alberta, Canada) residents have lots of experience dealing with urban coyote encounters. The scenario is similar to Phoenix... a densely populated city surrounded by large natural areas where coyotes often choose territory.

Key take aways:
- “They go into the neighborhoods looking for easy sources of food.”
- "Most aggressive encounters involve dogs, which coyotes see as prey, competitors, and threats to their pups."
- "While it is sometimes necessary, St. Clair said moving or killing a coyote usually results in its swift replacement by another coyote."

What many people dont realize - is that there are more permanent ways to keep coyotes out of your property.

Hazing is a method to "condition" coyotes to stay away from urban areas... but there will always be more coyotes to haze... making this a constant effort that frankly many people may not be interested in.

This is why Coyote Control exists, to provide permanent solutions to keep coyote encounters from taking place in the first time.

Excellent overview of an often debated concept Save Coyotes Now

I can understand the perspective of the farmer or rancher who has to deal with predators, however the idea of simply killing all the coyotes to control population is just counter productive.

There are humane and effective methods to protect properties, pets, livestock, etc

C o e x i s t

Coyotes have a POSITIVE ecological impact: 

• Coyotes limit mesocarnivore (skunks, raccoons, and foxes as well as feral cat) populations and increase bird diversity and abundance.
• Coyotes keep rodent and rabbit populations in check.
• Coyotes help control disease transmission.
• Coyotes clean up the environment.

Ways to Peacefully Coexist:

• Wildlife-proof garbage in sturdy containers with tight fitting lids.
• Don’t leave pet food outside.
• Take out trash the morning pick up is scheduled.
• Keep compost in secure containers.
• Keep fallen fruit off the ground; coyotes eat fruit.
• Keep birdseed off the ground; seeds attract rodents which then attract coyotes.
• Remove feeders if coyotes are seen in your yard.
• Keep barbecue grills clean.
• Eliminate accessible water sources.
• Clear away brush and dense weeds near buildings.
• Close off crawl spaces under decks and around buildings where coyotes may den.
• If you frequently see a coyote in your yard, make loud noises with pots, pans, or air horns, and haze the coyote with a water hose.
• Share this list with your neighbors; coexistence is a neighborhood effort.

When people refer to coyotes "without fear of humans", this refers to the process of "habituation" or "proximity indifference" which is a central focus of urban coyote research.

Habituation can be defined as, "The decline in responsiveness to a stimulus due to repeated exposure"

In context, this means coyotes will become used to approaching our neighborhoods (even if hazing methods are used) the more they encounter humans (and our pets) without significant consequence.

Why is this is so important? Habituation is directly related to our attitudes and behaviors toward wildlife. Habituation can be encouraged or discouraged depending on our actions, and in urban settings the goal is to decrease habituation. How?

Simply put
- Do not feed wildlife
- Keep yard and backyard areas free of attractors such as food sources, water, etc.
- Learn and utilize hazing methods (passive and active)
- Consider additional prevention methods (coyote proof dog run, coyote roller systems)

As coyotes continue to habituate, encounters can increase and the percentage of negative encounters is likely to increase as a result. Do what you can to protect yourself and live in balance with wildlife.

This is a good summary of how coyote behavior can change during and around mating season.

For Phoenix residents - know that as of early May pups are in the early development phase of life, and coyotes will be focused on caring for their babies. Pup rearing will last through around September when young coyotes will either disperse out on their own, or continue to stay with the family.

The main point is that during this time, coyotes can exhibit more agressive behavior, especially around den sites. They will also be more mobile in their search for food.

Peekaboo! 👀 Just taking a quick peek over the wall of this property. One of coyotes "super powers" is their eyesight. In particular, they have far superior night vision as compared to humans and some other mammals. This is due to a "super-abundance" of rods (light receptors in the eye that require much less light to activate) and for this reason are often more active in low light conditions than in the height of the day. Consider this when planning on letting pets out especially in areas where coyote presence is known, and when possible leash up and stay with them 🦮
