I saw a rather disturbing story last night about coyotes. A young woman had been attacked and partially eaten by 3 coyotes who were subsequently killed. According to the story, coyotes have never been known to kill adult humans. It appears now that these and some other coyotes have cross bread with wolves and produced a larger, more predatory and dangerous coyote. Also, we now have urban coyotes everywhere, even in Central Park, NY City. Very good at hiding, seldom seen even though they are there.

A friend of mine told me tonight that coyotes are now in Gibbstown, N.J. As he is a hunter, I warned him to tell people about their kids, as well as their cats and dogs.
