EDMONTON --
One resident in South Edmonton’s Lansdowne neighbourhood first noticed coyotes in the park near her house this winter.
“We’ve never seen them in the park,” said Wendy Rabel. “Only ever down and more towards the university farm.”
The past few weeks sightings are sometimes happening several times a day.
“They’ve become a lot more comfortable so they’re taking naps in the trees and there was one lying out in the soccer field this morning just sunning itself so a lot more common there,” Rabel said.
“A little bit close for comfort,” she added. “We have two little dogs that are pretty interested and curious and wouldn’t really stand a chance against a coyote so we’re watching them pretty closely right now.”
