CoyoteBytes in the Press

The paper describes a CoyoteBytes.org educational site in 2007. This page lists it because it concerns the same domain name. The current CoyoteBytes site is run by an editorial desk and claims no tie to the author. Ownership history is under review, so treat any connection as unconfirmed until the owner confirms.

We list links only. Reproducing a newspaper article or PDF needs rights we have not confirmed, so this page does not host or copy any. If you hold coverage of CoyoteBytes and want it listed, email us through the contact page and we will check the link before adding it.

Its abstract says the site offered science-based management recommendations for homeowners and municipal officials on reducing conflicts with coyotes in urban and suburban areas. Those conflicts include aggression toward people, attacks on pets and hobby animals, and damage to irrigation systems and garden crops, per the abstract.

The paper says the 2007 site let visitors upload photos or video clips and submit incident reports. This current site has no submission form. To report a coyote encounter, follow the instructions on our report page, which points to the agencies that take reports, such as AZGFD and Pima County.

Keep your distance and call. Do not approach, feed, corner or try to haze an animal that looks sick, is cornered, or may be protecting a den or pups. Call local animal control or the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD). If a person was bitten or scratched, call your doctor; if a pet had contact, call your vet.

No. CoyoteBytes gives general information drawn from agency and university sources and holds no wildlife-biology, veterinary or medical credential. Rules and local conditions change, so confirm with the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), Pima County or your local animal control before acting, and call them directly for any injured or aggressive animal.
