  25. PBS special on coyotes recently was interesting. City coyotes live longer than country coyotes. Heck even when a coyote goes swimming when it shouldn’t taxpayers will pay to rescue it in the City.

  29. Used to live at Division/Clybourn until 2016 before moving to the NW side. Used to walk with a baseball bat while walking my Westie at night. They would stalk/follow us on occasion. Other than that, if I were solo they’re fine since they’re harmless to humans.

  41. While I’m nocturnal by nature, I’ve been told this place is safer in daylight.

    Comment by A Guy Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 10:40 am

  42. I’ll never forget calling the cops because a coyote nonchalantly walked past me on a busy Lakeview sidewalk and I was worried about kids/dogs/etc.

    The reply: “Uh sir, they have as much of right as squirrels to go where they want. We don’t do coyotes.”

    I watched him use a pedestrian crossing and wait for traffic to pass and carry on his way.

    Chicago urban coyotes are endlessly fascinating to this dork.

    Comment by Anon Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 10:40 am

  43. ===We don’t do coyotes===

    I remember when they “did” mountain lions. The cops shot up Roscoe Village, causing more damage than the puma ever could, and scared the daylights out of this poor family.

    Comment by A Guy Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 10:47 am

  45. ===Proves they’re Dog people and not Cat people.===

    In fairness, the police reportedly recovered a gun near the dead mountain lion.

  46. A coyote (carnivorous vulgaris) is spotted staring down an Acme delivery van on Chicago’s near North Side on Tuesday. Police confiscated an Acme “Easy Pardon” kit being shipped to a Colorado address that had fallen off the back of the van, but could not catch the driver, a feathered fellow (accelerati incredibilus) to issue a ticket.

  49. ==Proves they’re Dog people and not Cat people.==
    The cops were clearing trying to put out the fire with gasoline in that instance.

    Comment by Boomerang Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 11:55 am

  54. A coyote strolled into Ogilvie Station overnight. Wonder if it is the same one as pictured here.

  56. Better pat him down to see if he’s wearing a wire.

    Comment by Keyrock Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 12:33 pm

  57. The coyotes are definitely around and about. Usually the coyotes like to work in proximity to a waterway (creek, river, canal). My biggest shock was to see deer walking down a residential street somewhat removed from a park or forest preserve.

    Comment by Practical Politics Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 1:16 pm

  58. Why did the coyote cross the road?

    Comment by thoughts matter Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 1:21 pm

  62. “I should give Bobby Bobcat a call to join me for lunch since hunting them in this county is prohibited”, said Wiley Coyote

    Comment by Southern Belle Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 2:10 pm

  63. “I was minding my own business when some other coyote at Cedar and State said ‘bite me’.”

    Comment by Da Big Bad Wolf Wednesday, Jan 8, 20 @ 2:22 pm

  64. I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore.

    I’m sure Comedian Tony Baker would have something witty to say.
