after an aggressive coyote was spotted prowling near a wooded area on Wingate Drive.
Although skittish by nature, urban coyotes often exhibit less fear of humans. “All it knows is what is was born into,” Jones said. “If a coyote was raised in den 100 feet from a backyard fence, and the food is in the trash can or in the dog’s dish in the backyard, then it’s going to go to it,” Jones said.
