Warnings from local police

Police in an east Texas city have issued warnings to its residents of recent sightings of coyotes. The warnings are specifically targeted at small pet owners and people that have small children in their home. Urban coyote sightings have become increasingly common in the past decade thanks to increased urbanization. The animals have been forced to move closer and closer to humans. Many people lack the knowledge on how to deal with a coyote should they encounter one.

Bobcats and coyotes have also been sighted in another Texas town. Officials issued tips on how to deal with an encounter should it happen to local residents. They state that you should not run but make yourself appear large and make noises to scare the animal away. Many residents have been posting images of the spotted coyotes and bobcats on Facebook.
