Urban Jungle

Every weekend I do my usual routine. Get up, brush my teeth, probably go to the washroom … have a shower, get dressed, drink a some warm brown water … go to the bookstore, and after all of that fun. I walk around the city endlessly until the sun goes down.  But this past weekend I did something a little different. It was sunny and warm, probably because it’s spring, and I happened to notice something unusual happening: a migration of ‘urban animals’ coming from the heat of the south. Coming out to play.

So I thought I would do us all a favour, and document some the animals I found downtown. It’s actually refreshing to see the animals come back to the city after a long, cold winter.

    what about the coyote that’s been running wild in the east end? any sightings? suggestions about how to handle the situation? perhaps some advice if one were to encounter such a wild animal?

    Well the coyote you mention has a problem because it is land locked in between new subdivision developments. It isn’t the coyotes fault that it has been hunting pets, mainly because it has no other resource.
    I think for all wild animals, the best advice is not to run away from it. Most of the time if you stand still where you are, it will most likely just go away on its own.

    I get a few coyote that hang out in my yard on occasion (at least that is what I think it is), and they are much more afraid of us than we should be of them, they usually run away as soon as they realize I’m watching them!
