We encroached on them, they are just doing natural coyote stuff. I'm glad the girl is okay. "Near chiraq". I wonder what parents gun views were before and after this near tragic event?
I do not believe coyotes were native to illinois. They are now for sure.
They are now found in the City of Chicago and I believe a lot of other cities. They do not seemed so bothered by building and construction.We run them out with building and construction. They have to find wooded areas somewhere
I seen coyotes that were bigger than 30 lbs in FL.Appearance:
The coyote is a member of the dog family. They weigh between 20 and 30 pounds, have pointed ears, a narrow muzzle, and bushy tail. Males tend to be larger than females. Pelts are usually grayish-brown, but occasionally black, often with a patch of white chest hair. When running, coyotes usually hold their tails extended out behind them at "half-mast." Coyote tracks are narrower and more elongated than dog tracks.
Habitat:
Coyotes are native to North America. Once strictly a western species, coyotes now occur throughout the eastern United States. Coyotes began expanding their range into northwestern Florida in the 1970s, and are now considered to be a naturalized species in all 67 Florida counties. They are extremely adaptable; just about any type of forest or farmland is suitable habitat. They can also adapt to and live in suburban and urban areas.
