Melvin Mosley+FollowCoyotes getting bolder in SummerlinCoyotes are getting so bold in Summerlin that they’re jumping fences and stalking pets in broad daylight. Neighbors near Lake Mead and Rampart are sharing stories of close calls—one even caught a coyote attacking his dog on camera. What’s wild is that old tricks like whistles and banging pans don’t scare them off anymore. The HOA rules make it tough to raise fences high enough to keep them out, and wildlife experts say removing coyotes isn’t a real fix. How are you keeping your pets safe, and what should the community do next? #Science #Summerlin #Coyotes00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowWhy coyote sightings spike in your neighborhoodLate winter is when coyotes really make their presence known around homes, thanks to their mating season and a hunt for easy meals. If you’ve noticed more of them cutting through backyards or parks, it’s not random—this is the time when they roam more, get bolder, and are hungrier than usual. Spring brings another wave as they guard dens and pups, and fall sees young coyotes testing the edges of suburbia. The real risk is to pets, not people, so keeping dogs leashed and food secured goes a long way. Anyone else seeing more coyotes lately? What’s your go-to strategy for keeping pets safe? #Science #Coyotes #NeighborhoodSafety00Share
Wesley Romero+FollowCoyotes’ wild nighttime trick in Toronto parkCoyotes in downtown Toronto aren’t just showing up more often—they’re getting clever. A local dog owner, Melissa, and her pup Barkley were drawn outside by what sounded like a whole pack of coyotes, only to find just two. Turns out, these coyotes used a rare trick called the “beau geste effect”—distorting their howls to sound like a crowd. With nearly 100 sightings already this year, it’s clear these wild animals are adapting fast to city life. Anyone else noticed wildlife getting bolder or more creative in your neighborhood? #Pets #Toronto #Coyotes30Share
Cassandra Snyder+FollowCoyotes are getting bold in Delaware yardsCoyotes aren’t just passing through Delaware anymore—they’re showing up in broad daylight, hopping fences, and even staring down dog walkers from Wilmington to Lewes. This sudden boldness is all about mating season, which runs through March, making these animals more territorial and less afraid of people. Delaware’s “coywolves” are bigger and smarter than typical coyotes, thriving in suburban patches. With new state rules coming in 2026 to help manage their numbers, it’s more important than ever to keep pets close, secure your trash, and make noise if you spot one. Has anyone else noticed these changes in their neighborhood? #Pets #Delaware #Coyotes20Share
