🐾 What to do if a coyote approaches you?
Join our staff (and Gucci the dog!) as we walk through some simple tips to keep both people and wildlife safe. Key tips:
➡️Be loud and scare them away.
➡️Use whatever you have on you to look threatening, like a flashlight or your jacket - or carry a garbage bag in warmer weather.
➡️Stay alert during dog walks. Keep your dog on a leash and close to you.
From foxes to raccoons, coyotes and deer, Toronto shares its landscape with countless wild species. Learning how to coexist with them helps protect the vibrant ecosystem that makes our city such a great place to live, work and play. 🌿
Understanding coyote behaviour and knowing how to respond helps ensure our shared spaces stay safe and enjoyable for everyone.
