​There have been multiple sightings of coyotes in the Indianapolis suburbs, especially the southern part of Indianapolis. As habitats for these animals shrink, the coyote sightings have increased. Coyotes no longer have any natural predators, but they are afraid of humans. These animals mainly eat small animals like rabbits, mice and squirrels but have been known to attack small pets. It is imperative to go outside with your pet to ensure their safety from coyotes. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (INDNR) will be hosting a coyote seminar for the public in April.
