#13This makes me very happy. I wonder if we could some day come up with some way to coexist with nature instead of blindly blanketing it with asphalt and concrete.
I hope so. I would extend this to vegetation. I would much rather have more big beautiful trees around than another golf course or parking lot.

Coyotes have already done an excellent job of coexisting with humans. They are one of the most successful species at adapting to human civilization. Pigeons, rats, roaches, etc. also quite successful.
They are even pretty regularly seen around Toronto still.
Normally they're just fine. They prefer to keep distance, but it's best to keep an eye. Any bold behaviour usually means they're hungry, which can lead to desperation.
Them and raccoons, those devils.

#15I've seen a coyote dart across the street in SoMa in the middle of rush hour. Nature's a bit closer than we think.

#16Here in England we don't have coyotes but just today I saw a pheasant walking down a deserted road nearby. It looked slightly confused.

#17Those little guys are so cute. Our Eastern coyotes are about twice that size, having hybridized with timberwolves.
Domestic dogs too, which has resulted in less fear of humans.

#18The first time I saw a Coyote was in broad daylight up on Corona Heights in San Francisco. I'd never even seen a photo of one before, but I knew what it was straight away because its face looked like Wile E Coyote!
A disturbing story I heard when living in Russia in my childhood was that if you see a wild animal in the city, it means that beasts have ran out of trash and waste to eat, and are getting more riskier, and you shouldn't be coming close to them unless you want to be eaten.

#19The same thing is happening in Barcelona but with boars coming from the forests outside the city, seems to have no correlation with the lock-down/quarantine that is happening (streets of Barcelona are basically empty right now, except for ambulances, police and delivery services) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/04/wild-boar-sigh...

#20I wish the article contained more than 1 image of a coyote on a SF street. Nonetheless, very "12 Monkeys"-esque.
Coyotes are terrorizing the once inhabited city.
