Excuse me, I believe you have my cat food

cat coyote nature videoThere’s a cool short video about CFAES’s Stan Gehrt on PBS’s “Nature” website. Called “Field Video: The Original Coyote and Its Chicagoland Habitat,” it shows Gehrt and his team working at night, using radio-tracking gear and infrared cameras to follow coyotes past people’s homes, over lawns and down sidewalks. Especially cool? The scene of a coyote eating cat food from a bowl on a doorstep — while the cat itself watches from inside the house, safe behind the living room window (pictured). That part starts at 1:44. Gehrt appears this Wednesday, Jan. 22, in the “Nature” episode called “Meet the Coywolf.”
