CityStream segments

Have you ever wandered into a greenspace and heard something scurry away? You’re not alone. Literally, you are NOT alone. An abundance of wildlife lives in the city, including coyotes. These urban predators often go unnoticed, but the fact is, they’ve been living in this region for decades. But how have they survived? What do they eat? What do their calls mean? And what should you do if a coyote confronts you? Producer Ian Devier spoke to the experts and has answers to these questions and more!

To learn more about coyotes and urban wildlife, check these websites from the Seattle Coyote Study, in collaboration with Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Urban Carnivore Project, also the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife:
