If you’ve noticed an increase in coyote activity around White Rock Lake, you’re not alone. While typically reclusive animals, coyotes are intelligent and adaptable to increased human activity, and may venture more closely to our communities in search of food.
Thanks to resources from our friends at Dallas Animal Services, we’re sharing a few safety tips and reporting processes should you an encounter a coyote on your next visit to the lake. This Coyote Flyer from DAS, available in English and Spanish, breaks down coyote facts, how to help deter them, keep your pets safe, and when to call for help.
Together, we can support a healthy urban wildlife population while keeping our communities safe!
