About this title

Synopsis

Coyotes share our world and are here to stay. Whether you admire or scorn them, it's important to learn about their habits, life history, and present and historical status, as well as how they may affect your family and pets. This book is the result of studies by Peter Trull on the Eastern Coyote for over a decade, as well as a presentation of the facts and theories that are presently being debated by naturalists, biologists and geneticists in the United States and Canada. “Since 1989 I have watched, studied and recorded the activities of the Eastern coyote, documenting hundreds of sightings and various activities of coyotes in neighborhoods and residential areas on Cape Cod, including reports related to interactions with other wildlife, livestock, pets—mostly dogs and cats, and hundreds of interactions between coyotes and humans. I have conducted in-depth interviews with people whose pets were killed by coyotes, and several accounts of people whose pets solicited play with coyotes. Today, coyotes are part of our modern world and understanding who they are and how they live will help us understand the complicated fabric we call Nature. We will be sharing our neighborhoods with coyotes and a great diversity of wildlife well into the future.” —Peter Trull
