Several coyotes have been fitted with radio/gps collars during the Winter of 2020 to provide information on the movement habits of urban coyotes in Chicago. Using telemetry to track a radio collared coyote at Graceland cemetery in Chicago, Dr. Stan Gehrt discovered this coyote hiding in a crevasse of an old stone wall. The urban coyote’s mastery of stealth helps them to roam largely undetected even in dense urban environments.

Cities Gone Wild
Cities Gone Wild is an exploration of three savvy animals: black bears, coyotes and raccoons. Each of these urban carnivores are uniquely equipped to survive and even thrive in the human built landscape at a time when urbanization is decimating habitat for less adapted wildlife. I tracked these three carnivores in cities across the United States, to reveal how they are using our infrastructure and resources to carve out a unique place in society that might help them survive an uncertain future.
