An evening searching for the "Coca Cola" coyote pair who use railroad tracks as their highway between hunting grounds in empty lots and overgrown areas of South Chicago. Using a radio telemetry antaenna mounted to the roof of a truck, I followed a wildlife tech with the Cook County Coyote Project tracking the movements while hunting and transiting at night. Coyotes in Chicago often use railroad tracks as their highway during the night to hunt mainly for rabbits and small rodents around Chicago.

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.
