About this episode
Coyotes: The Secret Neighbors You Never Knew You Had Coyotes are everywhere—from the open deserts to the heart of major cities—but how much do you really know about them? Are they dangerous? Do they hunt in packs? And why do they have such a legendary reputation, from Native American trickster tales to the relentless Wile E. Coyote? This week on The Fur Real Podcast , we’re joined by Dr. Stanley Gehrt, renowned wildlife ecologist and author of Coyotes Among Us . As the lead researcher of the Cook County Coyote Project, he has spent nearly 25 years studying how these animals thrive in urban environments—including Chicago, where over 6,000 coyotes are quietly living among people… mostly unnoticed. We bust some of the biggest coyote myths, uncover how these adaptable predators navigate city life, and answer the big question: should we fear them or admire them? Dr. Gehrt brings both science and storytelling to the conversation, making this episode as entertaining as it is eye-opening. 🐾 Hit play and discover the truth about one of North America’s most misunderstood creatures! www.thefurrealpodcast.com https://urbancoyoteresearch.com/ https://ohiocoyote.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Coyotes-Among-Us-Citys-Predator/dp/1959411233 ig@thefurrealpodcast ig@markakyle fb @ The Fur Real Podcast fb@ Mark A Kyle tik tok @the fur real podcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!
