Encountering Coyotes: Signs of Coyotes
Coyote Size
Walking through a neighborhood, we all have certain expectations. We might see a squirrel, a dog on a leash, a parent with a stroller, a scrub jay; many of us do not expect to see a coyote. When we do see one, it can be quite the surprise. Fair enough, it’s the largest wild animal many of us will see in our neighborhood (unless you have deer, and that’s a whole other...animal). Perhaps because they are unexpected, it is common to think coyotes are bigger than they actually are.
