I'm guessing the B'gamers and H'boroughers who live up the hill or near Mills Canyon are much more familiar with coyote sightings than us flatlanders. Even though I am a flatlander, I'm more familiar with them due to spending a good amount of time in Tahoe. I think this guy, who was photographed yesterday morning walking down the middle of Central Ave., is a juvenile. Central Ave is a block west of ECR and right at the southern edge of B'game--on street north of the Barriolhet border.
Watch your pets as they are reported to easily jump an eight-foot fence.
Please, Please "Calm Down" everybody.
Great Photo. Thank you for sharing.
The Coytes have NO INTENSION of interacting with "People." Coyotes are harmless to the people who make over &600,000.00.
"Calm Down."
Happy New Year.

I am a nurse at MPMC. Went for a walk in the neighborhood at midnight and a well fed coyote crossed my path about 20 feet in front of me. Surprising to see in such a densely populated area.

Other than taking a walk @ Midnight was your encounter with the Coyote frightening or "Wow. "I live in a Very Cool place?"

I think the point was about small dogs and cats. Most coyotes are not going to approach a person but they will feed on squirrels, rats, small dogs, cats and anything else that is smaller than they are. That seemed clear from the start.
