Coyotes thrive in urban areas such as Silicon Valley. Here, we use sightings to help us identify local coyote territories. This map can assist with wildlife management.
-
Sightings sourced from social media, iNaturalist, local vector control, and our own form.
-
Please note that not all sightings have precisely accurate locations and dates.
-
The numbers on each sighting are the date that the sighting occurred. Sightings have been tracked from October 2024 onward.
-
The outlined figures are estimates of each coyote territory. Each coyote territory is home to one family, typically consisting of around 2-6 coyotes. Not all territories have been mapped due to lack of sightings.
-
Some territories have colored pins - each color codes for an individual coyote. We are able to track individuals when we have multiple photos of them.
