Masters of stealth and hardwired to survive, coyotes have colonized many of the sprawling urban habitats of North America. Abundant food and protection from predators have allowed this adaptable animal to not only survive but thrive in our human world. While usually skittish, attacks on small pets have become more frequent. And in rare cases, these cunning predators attack humans.
In California, a 2-year-old girl was dragged from a playground by a coyote. She survived, but a young woman hiking in Nova Scotia, was not so lucky. Now join researchers, scientists, trappers, and police officers as they try to determine the best ways to stay safe when living amongst these clever canines.
