Coyotes Among Us: Secrets of the City’s Top Predator Kindle Edition

An eye-opening volume of research and photographs exploring one of North America’s most persistent—and misunderstood—predators. 

The coyote. Even its image conjures up more myth than fact. From its depictions as the “trickster” in ancient fables to its portrayal as a threat to humans and their pets in modern news sources, coyotes are rarely shown in a favorable light. Now, the Urban Coyote Research Project pulls back the curtain on the defamed coyote, revealing the surprising truth about this unique creature.  

Though harassed and hunted for generations, today the coyote persists and even thrives. With an innate ability to adjust to new climates and environments, the coyote has developed an expansive range. Once confined to the American West, it now lives in forty-nine states, across lower Canada, throughout Mexico, and all the way to Costa Rica. Its habitat ranges from rural prairie to urban overpasses; it is the largest animal to regularly live wild within city limits. The coyote continues to overcome the ceaseless intrusion of urban development to create a bright and flourishing future, providing its human neighbors a surprising number of benefits. 

With stunning images of coyotes within their surprising habitats, Coyotes Among Us draws from decades of experience to dispel coyote myths, highlight the benefits of living with coyotes, and embrace the coyote as a brilliant survivor against all odds.

I live near Los Angeles and have frequently seen and heard coyotes. This book cleared up all my misconceptions. Stanley Gehrt and Kerry Luft show how this amazing animal has figured out how to live and expand its population among humans despite huge losses due to traffic and other predations. The lesson for readers is that coyotes are now a part of our urban existence, and that is nothing to fear if we understand that they are a valuable part of the ecosystem. .
