MICHIGAN COYOTE FACTS:
Coyotes are a member of the dog family, are extremely adaptable and survive in virtually all Michigan habitat types. They are found in urban areas and often go unnoticed. Coyotes live for six to eight years in the wild and mated pairs can produce three to ten pups annually. The average range of territory covered is eight to twelve square miles.
Coyotes can be difficult to distinguish from a medium-sized German Shepard dog from a distance. There is a wide variation in the coyote’s color but their upper body is yellowish grey and the fur covering the throat and belly is white to cream color. The coyote’s ears are pointed and stand erect, unlike the ears of domestic dogs that often droop. When observed running, coyotes carry their bushy, black-tipped tail below the level of their back.
Kowall concluded and reiterated to White Lake residents what the DNR suggests, “If you have them near your house, don’t feed them, don’t leave things out and be mindful of your trash. If you see them in your yard, yell at them and shoo them away,”.
