Ep. 159 : Tracking Urban Adapted Coyote Ecologies with Sage Raymond

sage.jpg

Certified wildlife tracker Sage Raymond, is completing her Masters of Science studying Urban-adapted Coyote ecologies in Edmonton. She has been working with colleagues on the Edmonton Urban Coyote Project studying the patterns and behaviours of these urbanized Coyotes in hopes to be better able to predict, and reduce some of the possible problems or conflicts which could occur between these wilder animals and human/pet populations.

Additionally, we talk about the use of tracking as a useful, non-invasive tool for studying wildlife, novel non-native zoonotic diseases (potentially lethal tapeworms!!) which are infecting the Coyotes and the implications that has for co-habiting human populations.
