[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1804176, member: 14585"] U of Mn researchers have been studying coyote behavior in the Twin Cities metropolitan since 2020 when they trapped and collared 11 coyotes. They've found coyotes follow strict territory boundaries and will not cross into another coyote's territory. Most territories are approximately 3 x 4 mile squares. But 1 territory is 10 x 2 miles and another 6 x 3 miles. Surprisingly there was no increase in lost pets within a coyote's territory than outside of the territory. They observed that coyotes are collectors with dog toys and balls stolen from home owners yards found in the dens. Many people don't even know there's a coyote in their area. Researchers believe the availability of water from wetlands is the reason for so little conflict within the territories. U of Mn researchers next project will be studying the behavior of foxes in the Twin Cities. [/QUOTE]
