## What you should know

The predator that actually threatens small pets, way ahead of any bird. Supervise small dogs outside and never leave pet food in the yard.

## Whoa

Coyotes now live in almost every big city in America, including right in the middle of Chicago and New York.

## Staying safe around it

Treat it with respect, keep your distance, and tell a grown-up if you see one up close.

**Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant.** If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
