An eastern coyote is defined as much by its western coyote ancestry as by its DNA contribution from the Eastern wolf. “Our” coyotes vary physically and behaviorally from its smaller relative – while still carrying the incredible adaptability and canniness of Wile E. Coyote. This program takes a deep dive into the ecology and behavior of this creature, its indefatigability and how it is the human who must adapt to live with the ‘One Who Cannot Be Removed’.On the horizon, however, is a native carnivore which fled the northeast during wolf removal and now may be trying to return: The eastern wolf. A look-alike to the coyote, it has been killed mistakenly for its similarity of appearance to the coyote. We’ll talk about how the wolf and coyote might negotiate a truce in the northeast and how we might do the same.
Chris Schadler is the Chair of the Webster Conservation Commission, the NH & VT Representative of Project Coyote, a Co-Founder of NH Wildlife Coalition, and Member of Northeast Wolf Recovery Alliance. She has lectured throughout New England on the Eastern Coyote for 30 years.
This program is free and open to all!
