There have been several sighting reported recently of coyotes close to downtown Houston.
"I was very surprised," said Chris Alan. "Then, I was a little nervous when I started taking pictures of it. It was running around."Last week, Alan saw a coyote sunbathing at Memorial Park around 3 p.m. Memorial Park is only a few short miles from the center of downtown Houston.
Coyotes are no stranger to the Houston area. According to Zach Vandermost, owner of Critter One, they’re receiving more calls recently relating to coyotes. "We’re definitely [noticing] an uptick this year," said Vandermost. "As long as they’re not causing a threat to humans or animals, we should leave them be. Generally, coyotes are doing their own thing. They’re scavengers. They’re not the type of animal to come and attack someone."Do not feed coyotes! Keep pet food and water inside.
Keep pets inside, confined securely in a kennel or covered exercise yard, or within the close presence of an adult.Do not feed wildlife on the ground; keep wild bird seed in feeders designed for birds elevated or hanging above ground, and clean up spilled seed from the ground; coyotes can either be drawn directly to the seed, or to the rodents drawn to the seed.Do not feed feral cats ; this can encourage coyotes to prey on cats, as well as feed on cat food left out for them.
