Coyotes

Although coyotes are usually wary of humans, one coyote has reportedly injured three Marines and one sailor along a popular jogging path.

The woman walked nearly two miles after being bitten in order to get to her car, before driving herself to a hospital.

The boy was bitten multiple times outside the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park, police said, hours before a 32-year-old man walked into a hospital saying a coyote had bitten him.

A hybridized canid made up of coyote, wolf and dog genes is expanding across the eastern U.S.

The animals are moving into the city and suburbs to escape human hunters.
