Coyotes are incredibly adaptable animals that have successfully made urban areas their home. Their presence in cities across North America is growing, intriguing scientists and residents alike.
This article explores how coyotes manage to survive and thrive in densely populated areas, their diets, interactions with humans, wildlife rehabilitation, and how you and your pets can stay safe around coyotes.
In addition, I will talk about the research being done in Madison Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois and look at three studies showing what coyotes are eating. Is it cats?

There are two species living in the United States, the common snapping turtle and the alligator snapping turtle. They live in freshwater habitats feeding on small animals.
Populations of the alligator snapping turtle are in decline and they are considered a vulnerable species. Habitat loss, climate change, and poaching are all reasons for this.
Scientists keep learning more about the various animal species that are at risk for getting COVID. High numbers of white-tailed deer have contracted SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus across the United States. The large population and social behavior of the deer, along with their close proximity to humans, appear to be the main causes for this.
Feeding birds in the winter is good for you and for birds. This enjoyable experience can bring you closer to nature while giving the birds some much-needed winter nourishment.
