The Canid Project The Canid Project is a fox and coyote rehab and educational non-profit based out of Louisiana.

The Canid Project is a 501c3 non-profit creative educational endeavor launched in December of 2016 by photographer Amy Shutt. OUR MISSION:

This project's mission, as a global creative conversation, is to document and share the stories of not just wild canids, but also the stories of humans and the wild canids who enter each other's lives in some capacity. We actively present this creative and edu

cational information through our photography, non-fiction narrative, conservation photography workshops, and community outreach to inspire and educate the public. We strive to shed light on how these relationships shape our views on the wild canid species and the ramifications, both negative and positive, they present. Please read more on our current programs:

• Red and Gray Fox Rescue and Rehabilitation
• Conservation Photography Workshops
• Wildlife Photography Mentorship for Teens
• Community Outreach Talks and Presentations
• Periodical: Notes From The Field

A party in our hood or an auditory illusion? The beau geste effect ...say what🤔🐺🎶!? Volume ⬆️

🔎 Why do human listeners consistently overestimate the number of coyotes vocalizing?

The following study, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" published in Human-Wildlife Interactions 11(2):167–174, Brewster et al., (2017), unveiled some very interesting results. For example, participants overestimated how many coyotes they thought they heard 2-fold.

Besides answering the call of a family member, defending territory, or trying to locate kin, coyotes may respond to high-pitched sirens, alarms, a barking dog, and even an early morning rooster call.

🚫 Myth Busted:
Coyotes do not vocalize when they are consuming food or during hunting forays. This tale has been repeated far too many times and needs to be put to rest.

WEBINAR SERIES - Wolf Conservation Center

"Feared and vilified for centuries, misunderstood species like wolves, sharks, and bats often face significant conservation challenges due to our continued misperceptions of them.

Rather than being appreciated for their ecological functions, these animals are repeatedly victimized by hunting, habitat destruction, and aggressive zoonotic diseases that spread at the hands of humans.

We need to rewrite the narrative.

Join the Wolf Conservation Center’s Senior Research Scientist Dr. Joey Hinton and Director of Education and Advocacy Regan Downey for our Misunderstood Species Webinar Series, designed to shed light on the myths and misconceptions surrounding some of our world’s most vital wild animals. By deepening our understanding of canid, shark, and bat behavior, we can work toward a peaceful coexistence and build a world where wolves and their misunderstood counterparts can thrive."
