WHAT IS IT???

You’ve solved the Mystery of the Woods! The voices we have been hearing must be from coyotes! Coyotes are opportunistic hunters, and will sometimes form packs to hunt. They can be found in rural areas, suburbs and even the city. Although it might sound spooky at first, their howls sound awesome.

We hope you continue to learn about the natural world so that we can confidently coexist with our animal neighbors.
