I've seen on a few neighborhood sites that coyotes have recently been seen in the Zilker neighborhood. People have even reported daytime sightings, which I recall as hitherto extremely rare. So, if you live in the area (or any neighborhood near a creek, greenbelt, etc):
- Keep small pets indoors or inside a fenced yard if possible.
- Coyotes have killed many Zilker cats over the years.
- Check out these tips on "coyote hazing" in the event you confront one: Humane Society's Coyote Hazing Tips
- Check out the city's information on handling coyotes: City of Austin Coyote Information
- If you are wondering where to buy bear spray, look no further than REI (and if you're a member, said purchase of said bear spray will go toward your dividend).
