In Southern Ontario, the howl of Coyotes is a familiar sound to those who live in the country, and to many who live in smaller cities, as they have long inhabited the outskirts of towns here.
They can travel a long way using ravines, highways & roads, walking paths and hydro corridors, although they prefer to build their dens in secluded places where they will not be disturbed - in ravines or close to the banks of streams and small rivers.
These intelligent and adaptable animals seem to be able to live closely with their human neighbours and are not usually a threat to human safety, although we are their only natural predator.
Many people have concerns about these wild carnivores living in their neighbourhoods, and to live in harmony with them it is necessary that we respect and understand them and their needs.
According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, there have been no incidents of these canids attacking humans in the province of Ontario.
Common sense should dictate that small children and babies should not be left unattended outdoors if Coyotes are known to be about.
They have adjusted well to living in close proximity to humans. They are generally cautious, shy animals and would prefer to avoid confrontations with people.
Some people consider them to be a nuisance and have tried to trap and relocate them, however they are extremely intelligent and almost impossible to live trap.
Ontario Provincial legislation prohibits the relocation of wildlife from their home territories; therefore, trapped animals must be released in the same area or destroyed.
Research shows that wildlife relocated from urban areas will typically return to their home range, or become a problem elsewhere and that when coyotes are hunted and killed, the population will compensate by producing larger litters and expanding their range.
Mike, one of our readers, saw a coyote recently when it pranced in front of his car on Cootes Drive, Dundas, Ontario.
This means that they will also eat garbage which has been left outside, so residents should make the effort to keep their trash enclosed and inaccessible.
The colour variations of Coyotes range from blondes to reds and browns, and the weight and size of these animals varies from
35 to 45 pounds, although their thick fur often makes them appear heavier than they really are.
In the YouTube video below, you can hear the "Yipping" howl of the Coyote, which is very different from the howl of the Wolf which you can find in our
Grey Wolf
section.
Have you seen any Coyotes in your area, or when you were traveling in Southern Ontario?
We would love to hear if you spotted one of these intelligent animals!
Remember to make your submission a minimum of 100 - 200 words and tell us when and where you saw the animals, the time of day, and what you observed them doing.
