We’re so excited about this show! Well, the next 2 shows because we couldn’t fit it all into just one! Coyotes are some of the most fascinating, interesting animals. We come across them regularly yet most of us know so little about them. We talk about how to keep your pets safe, what different coyote behavior really means, and dispel some common myths. Get to know your outdoor neighbor, the coyote!
