San Francisco is one of the many major cities in the USA(NY, L.A. Chicago, Denver among many others) that is studying Coyote behaviour in the hope of fostering long term co-existence with us human animals............."Wildlife experts say there are dozens of coyotes in the 47-square-mile city, but nobody has delivered a precise number"..........................."Coyotes are native to San Francisco, where the fossil record shows they were plentiful until the Gold Rush, but the yipping hordes were killed off in the city some 75 years ago"....................... "The first modern sightings were in 2004 in the Presidio, creating excitement and a good deal of puzzlement over how the creatures got there"................. "Answers came when Golden Gate Bridge officials viewed video of a coyote dashing across the span in the dead of night".............."In the city's Presidio Park, four adult coyotes have been documented, including one breeding pair with two or three pups"..............."Researchers seek to determine how many animals the Presidio can sustain, what percentage of pups survive, where young adults go when they disperse at 12 to 16 months of age, what they feed on, where they create dens and how many coyotes are killed by cars"................"One of the females in the Presidio had three pups in April"........ "During the day, she generally leaves her pups at their den, where they play all day, and periodically returns to drop off a dead squirrel, mouse or rat"............
