What should you do when you see a coyote?

Absolutely not! Please never feed a coyote. A tame, human-fed coyote is much more likely to cause problems for itself and the community. Always scare coyotes away when you see them (even if you love them).
A
Offer it food to help tame it
B
Clap, yell, or stomp to scare it away
C
Approach, follow, or otherwise entice the coyote to come near you
D
Run away as fast as you can​
Back

​Try again.

Our project is run by a small team of researchers and community members who are passionate about understanding how humans and coyotes interact and providing evidence-based information about living with coyotes. We want to make sure our project stays sustainable and useful so we want to hear from YOU. Thank you!
