Possibly Aggressive Coyote Menaces Children In SF Botanical Garden
There s been some fairly odd and aggressive behavior by one or more coyotes in the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park recently, which may have something to do with a litter of coyote pups spotted there this spring.
Coyotes are known to menace and sometimes attack dogs, particularly during pupping season in San Francisco s parks experts say the coyotes typically just want to escort or scare the dogs away from a den area, but the behavior can be terrifying to humans, and at least a few pet dogs have been killed or injured in recent years. But coyotes coming up to humans and their children is rarer, experts say, and usually has something to do with food and the animal being conditioned by humans previously offering food.
