Coyote spotted in Oak Park
By Readers
Warren Jepson snapped these photos of a coyote wandering around the 800 block of Lyman in Oak Park Thursday morning.
Oak Park may be the next site for a study by the Urban Wildlife Institute of Lincoln Park Zoo that targets urban carnivores in a long-term attempt to facilitate better relations with their human neighbors.

Just saw one 10 minutes ago on Scoville and Superior. Full size for a coyote, light grey like the first pic above.
