DFG recommends coyote caution If you’re in the outdoors anywhere in California this spring, you might cross paths with one of the state’s most common predators – the coyote. Clever, nimble and quick, the coyote may at first glance appear to be more of a nuisance than a direct threat. But don’t let your guard down, the Cali- fornia Department of Fish and Game (DFG) warns. Coyotes – especially those who live in urban set- tings and have grown accus- tomed to humans – can become emboldened to the point where they become a public safety threat. “Once coyotes become habituated to people, they begin to exhibit increased levels of aggression, which can lead to biting incidents,” said Kevin Brennan, a DFG biologist who works out of Idyllwild County. coyote-human contact is based on educating the pub- lic about coyote behavior and taking sensible precau- tions, Brennan said. To avoid problems with in Riverside Brennan has responded to hundreds of coyote inci- dents and is familiar with the inevitably unhappy result when coyotes become accustomed to humans. The coyote (Canis latrans) is a member of the dog family and is native to California. It closely resem- bles a small German shep- herd with the exception of the long snout and bushy, black-tipped tail. Because they are tolerant of human activities and rapidly adjust to changes in their environ- ment, the highly adaptable coyote populates virtually the entire state. Brennan notes that coy- otes are actually the most populous in suburban neighborhoods, in part because there are so many food sources available to them in addition to their usual diet of rabbits, mice, birds and other small ani- mals, young deer and sheep. Those additional food sources include left-out pet food and left-out pets, as well as unsecured garbage in neighborhoods and the rodents such garbage attracts. When coyotes are allowed access to human food and garbage, either deliberately or inadvertent- ly, they can lose their fear of people and become a real danger. The key to minimizing coyotes, people should fol- low these guidelines: •Never feed or attempt to tame coyotes. The result may be deadly conflicts or serious injuries to pets, live- stock and even small chil- dren. • Do not leave small chil- dren or pets outside unat- tended. •Be aware that coyotes are more active in the spring, when feeding and protecting their young. • If followed by a coyote, make loud noises. If this fails, throw rocks in the ani- mal’s direction. • Put garbage in tightly closed containers that can- not be tipped over. Most coyote sightings should be reported to local animal control districts. However, if a coyote acts aggressively or attacks peo- ple, call 911.
