I am an animal lover.
But the fact that coyotes are flourishing so well in the city, meaning more and more attacks on our pets is reason for concern. However, not nearly as much concern as there should be for our kids. There have been a few reports of coyotes going towards young children, in one case, a few of them circling a young girl. Unfortunately, as always it will take a young child to be seriously hurt or even killed before we realize there is an issue with the number of coyotes among us.

Saw a lone coyote on 5th Avenue and Waterloo Street yesterday afternoon at 3:20 p.m. It ran right by a lady on the sidewalk, heading eastbound.

Just spotted a large coyote hunting\patrolling on quesnel drive south off of west king Edward on the west side of Vancouver, I watched him for about five minutes, the coyote was looking through front yards and then cutting east down the lane, I have spotted a number of coyotes in the area around 33rd and larch but this was the largest one I had seen, normally I would see them hunting in two’s with one visible and one hidden.
Sighting was Tuesday evening dec 28th at 10:30 pm.
The coyote was not afraid of humans and was well aware of where I was (in a car).

TrackBack: Primeval fears: “…There’s no shortage of coyotes in Greater Vancouver. In our Burnaby neighbourhood, I’ve seen them regularly for years: they live and hunt in nearby Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake parks, and when I used to come home from band gigs late at night I’d regularly see small packs of them on suburban streets…”

I’ve just seen a coyote at 23rd and Crown St at 18:00. It walked into to the forest. I worry about my cat who loves to go to outside.

We have a few coyotes in the Knight & 49th area that we see on a regular basis too. To my surprise, at least one of these animals is not intimidated by people as I have on a couple of occasions come within a 10 foot distance of him while trying to shoo him away. The fact that we have a young child leads to us not particularly appreciating the proximity of the coyotes to our home. However, there is one large brown colored one that luckily is afraid of humans. That animal appears to be taller and with a more full body structure than a coyote. Is there any chance that there are brown wolves within Vancouver? This animal looks too healthy and tall to be a coyote.

[...] I thought coyotes were pretty common in all North American urban areas? I same home one night and passed three trotting down my very urban street. Later I found the back half of someone's cat on my front lawn. Every so often the media whips themselves into a frenzy over an attempted attack on a pet or child: http://www.miss604.com/2009/02/coyot…vancouver.html [...]

Add the area around 4th and Collingwood all the way through Kitsilano to the area where coyotes travel regularly. Sighting on Collingwood while I was driving home from work last week around 1:00 a.m.

It’s not unusual for groups of them to gather on the golf course by UBC, even in daylight. At night when they all get together they can make quite a racket. At any given moment of the day or night you can encounter a coyote in that part of town.
