I wonder just where this ‘journalist’ has been. I have lived in Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, Mississippi and Arizona and have seen or heard coyotes in all. The coyote is one of the most successful survivors in history. Wily can live darn near anywhere and probably does. I would guess he and his kind live in every one of the lower 48 and are doing quite well.
My guess is the writer was shown a coyote den in the park and was just overcome with emotion about the “poor displaced coyotes”. In the immortal words of a famous Jackrabbit, “What a maroon.”
