Oh stop it, everyone knows their are no coyotes in Florida. I read in the newspaper that just about all indigenous life has been consumed by enormous numbers of mutated giant pythons, which have been witnessed at over 25 feet in length. Let's not mention that the Nile Monitors and hybridized mutant freak carnivore iguanas, eat whatever the jurrasic pythons missed. So who do you think your fooling with coyote stories?

Yep, they're about as common as raccoons. Pretty brazen in some places, too.

I read an article in the St. Petersburg Times which was about coyotes spotted in Pinellas County. I think you are wise to be careful when walking your dog.
I live in Tampa. Haven't seen any coyotes, but I've seen my share of racoons and opposums.

I'm not going to lie. The first thing I thought of when I saw that pic is whether it would make a nice shaving brush.
I saw one in northwest Cape Coral midday a couple of months ago. It is a sparsely populated area, but there are plenty of residences with children's toys outside.
Yeah, they're pretty much everywhere. I don't see them often, but hear (many) of them every night.. I live way out in the boonies. I wouldn't worry about your dog either, unless you can't control him and he gets loose and chases it. Even then, unlikely to be an issue. My folks' dog saw one out the woods a few days ago, and went storming after it..the coyote just high tailed it out of there. The coyote's not going to come anywhere near you, with or without your dog. They're very cautious. Now letting you cat out at night if you have one....that's a little different story

Hear them all the time here in SC and NEVER see them!
