I wonder what kind of sandwich meat would be the coyote’s favorite?
Awww! That’s cute! 
They showed it on the news this evening. Cran, the animal looked cute but in a rather evil way.
Its not the first time they’ve had coyotes in that part of town. They either follow the river in or the lakeshore. That’s the same way deer drift into the city.
They had a coyote living on the grounds of the water filtration plant next to Navy Pier for quite a while.
First all the wild rabbits disappeared then the geese and ducks were gone.
They caught a coyote in my NW side neighborhood last year. It got here probably by way of the river.
There’s a coyote living in my daughter’s western Chicago suburb. She sees it every once in a while. Within weeks of it arriving it had eaten all the neighborhood cats and a few small dogs who’d been left in fenced yards.
You know what we call free-roaming cats here in the mountains? Coyote chow.
Seriously, I love seeing (and hearing!) coyotes. Sightings are rare, even here, but we hear them all the time (and sometimes I join in!)

Vancouver has a massive urban coyote population.
In fact, they’re booming all across north america. Coyotes are adapting to city life.
They’re becoming smaller than country coyotes, which is presumably Darwin Intelligent design in action.
I suppose they closed down the Quizno’s for unsanitary conditions (large vermin).

I was under the assumption that the coyote was there to solve the large vermin problem.
Hey, y’all, y’know this is just the next phase of the Quizno’s advertising scheme…
move over “toasty” baby; Toasty Coyote is the new hotness. 
I’m surprised they haven’t come up with a “Road Runner Special”!

An interesting study of coyotes and geese in Chicago:

I live in the west and am surrounded by farmland and desert, coyote’s are pretty common around here. Ours aren’t as large as the one pictured on the news though, I was surprised when I saw how large it was. We can hear them howling in the night time and we see them fairly regularly, though not as much as we used to before they started building more in the area. We also have a ton of jackrabbits… I guess they multiply too quickly for the coyotes to keep them down!
Coyotes… I live right by the biggest cemetary in the city so it’s not terribly uncommon to see them around. Shoulda seen 'em when my husky was in heat, LOL. Can’t imagine them going straight into a building though- that’s cool! Scary, but cool.
Actually, the article is about a study done in Cook county and focuses on some suburbs of Chicago.
There are wildife centers out there where they actively encourage coyotes to live. The one that was caught yesterday is being set to one out there today.
Back in 1997, a young coyote was wandering around downtown Seattle, ran into a building to escape from some crows which were attacking it, and got trapped in an elevator. You can read the story [u]here[/u].
There’s a coyote in my neighborhood (first suburb north of Chicago), and what I find amusing is that I always see him/her walking on the sidewalk. There’s also a coyote (maybe the same one, of course) that lives in the very tiny forest preserve near my home. The neighbors have named him Fred.

We never heard of a coyote in these parts until about 10 years ago. I saw my first one about then. They killed one of our newborn calves that was unlucky enough to be born during a terrible snowstorm. The adult ones I’ve seen around here are easily as big as a 40-50 lb dog.
I hear them all the time now at night. They are definately not my favorite creature.
Those would be really big coyotes. Typically they’re fairly small…no more than knee height…and slight in build.

Of course these are bigger…they beefed up.
Oooooo! Good one!
Turns out that northern coyotes and those who live in mountains are larger than our southern coyotes.
