N.J. boy foils coyote attack on baby nephew

Below is the link to the story. These animals are running out of places to live, places to hunt, food to eat. Overpopulation will make these incidents unaviodable.

Coyotes have actually done quite well for themselves lately, due in large part to people. One study found that their range has expanded ~40% over the last couple hundred years, most of that apparently into the Northeast and South. They're even in NYC now.

Got to admire critters that not only survive but actually thrive despite our best efforts to eliminate them.

At least one Coyote expanded its range into a downtown Chicago Quiznos.
