Coyotes in Urban Environments

The video explores how certain animal species, like coyotes, show resilience in urban environments. Dr. Stan Gert uses GPS technology to study coyotes in Chicago, revealing their ability to thrive by adapting to city life. Coyotes learn traffic patterns and avoid cars, a major threat to their survival. This adaptation is seen in many North American cities, suggesting that if space is made for nature, it can coexist with humans.
