Just after 6:00am on Monday July 4th, a Belsize resident snapped a picture of what is likely a coyote in the parkette on Belsize Drive, known officially as Glebe Manor Square.
The City of Toronto website says that coyotes “generally do not pose a danger to people, but can pose a danger for pets. They are active during the day and at night, particularly dusk and dawn, and help to control rodent and rabbit populations. Coyotes thrive in urban areas because of the abundance of food and shelter available. They do not hibernate and may be seen more often during winter months as they are not hidden by foliage. Coyotes will eat whatever food is available such as small mammals and birds, and improperly stored garbage.”
