Learn where coyotes live in San Francisco, what they are like and how to peacefully coexist with them.
Janet “The Coyote Lady” Kessler is a self-taught naturalist who has spent nearly two decades conducting daily field research documenting urban coyote behavior and family life. In this presentation "Our Citizen Coyotes," Kessler will share her first-hand information, compassion and love for the animals. She will also describe what to expect if you have a dog and encounter a coyote.
Documenting her experiences with a camera, Kessler has come to know and identify most of the coyotes and their families here in San Francisco. Recently, she has been able to map the general extent of each of their territories and some of their dispersal here in the city. Kessler has collaborated with Dr. Benjamin Sacks’ genetic lab at UC Davis where the DNA from scat she collected is analyzed.
