What’s Up With All The Coyotes?

News reports and social media are awash with photos and videos of coyotes roaming the streets of Las Vegas — but why? Are we in the middle of a coyote population boom, is climate change driving them out of their natural habitat, or are we simply moving into the coyotes’ neighborhoods? Today, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with UNLV wildlife ecologist Dr. David Choate, who explains why we’re seeing all these coyotes, and how much of a threat they pose to people and pets. Plus, he’s got tips on what to do if you run into one.
