Eastern Coyotes in Mississauga - Winter 2012


Photography Courtesy of Kevin Golden, Mississauga Resident

  • Coyotes are an important part of our ecosystem as they control rodent and rabbit populations.  According to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources they flourish in cities across Canada and they are here to stay.
  • Coyotes have been a common sight in Mississauga residential neighbourhoods for over 20 years.  They are active day and night but prefer to hunt after dusk or before dawn.
  • Coyotes are normally shy towards humans, however they will watch or follow humans out of natural curiosity.  Coyotes are hardwired to run from aggressive actions.
  • Coyotes and humans can coexist safely but we must know how to keep our pets safe and prevent conflicts.   Coyotes will prey on outdoor, off leash or unattended pets.
