He still doesn't believe me.  No, I didn't read it at first. I'm from Washington State, they are everywhere. Now I live in Phoenix Arizona, and they sound just like your recording, we see them in the streets all the time. Once your hear them, you never forget the sound. When I was in Central Park late one night, I heard them. So I know first hand they are there.  I got kicked out of a friends house after we got into a very heated argument about coyotes living in the dark corners of Manhattan.

Here in Los Angeles there has been an rash of loved family pets gone missing due to the local coyote population becoming much more comfortable living in urban environments, and taking advantage of pet owner's carelessness or ignorance of the fact that their cat or dog could end up the meal of a wild creature. It's becoming a bit of a stereotype to think of the well-fed coyote in Los Angeles as an eater of pets. It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to apply that logic with Mark's coyotes. My own two rescued cats would never be allowed outside for that very reason. I take the time, when I can, to point out that it can be fatal to let your cat out at night in LA.
