I stumbled across this old article from 2006 the other day and as Chicago’s leading coyote informant, I had to share.  Basically it talks about why Chicago is so full of coyotes!  The main reason being that, unusually for a city its size, it has a lot of park land and all of it is more or less connected.  This lets the coyotes travel around the city at will without being spotted.  The most interesting statistic is that coyotes raised in Chicago have a two times better chance surviving than they do in the wild!  So it is actually safer for them than in the wild.  That’s just…wild.

Going in a completely different direction here, Sara sent me this link and it was amazing.  There is this crazy berry that you eat and then it temporarily spazes out your taste buds making everything taste crazy.  It sounds so weird, I would love to try it sometime!
