Coyotes in Twin Ponds
Debbie P • August 14, 2020
Wildlife is nothing new in the community, in fact we love all the wildlife we get to enjoy. We should always respect wildlife and in some instances, be cautious.
We wanted to let everyone know to be careful, especially with your dogs in the evening, as coyote have been walking around in the community. From what we have heard, they have mostly been along the tree lines and in the woods, but it is best to keep an eye out.
Coyotes are very wary of people. They usually run off just from seeing you. It is best not to turn your backs to them and under no circumstances should you run. Running away from coyotes can trigger their prey drive.
If you have a small dog, pick up your dog while keeping an eye on the coyote. Your dog is on a leash but it is important to have full control of your dog. Make sure your dog does not run towards or away from the coyote. Shorten the leash and keep your dog nearby until the coyote leaves.
