Coyotes (Canis latrans) are na-tive to Kendall and surrounding Counties and were abundant in Illinois before the first European settlers arrived. Decades of eradi-cation efforts took a toll on the coyote population, and as re-cently as the 1950s they were considered uncommon in the state. Numbers began to rebound in the 1970s and now it’s not uncom-mon to spot a coyote running in a field, crossing a road, or even trotting through a backyard. Why are coyotes coming so close to my house? The rapid development of the Fox Valley area has caused a tremen-dous loss of natural habitat, bring-ing coyotes closer to urban areas. Easy food sources such as pet food, open garbage cans, and birdseed all attract coyotes to residential areas. What happens if I encounter a Coyote? Coyotes are typically frightened off by aggressive gestures, such as moving towards the animal while waving your arms and shouting in a loud, deep voice. Throw stones or sticks in the coyote’s direction. If you are walking with a pet, pick it up or shorten the leash so that it re-

mains close to you. Do not turn your back on or run from the coy-ote and, if possible, move to-wards an area of activity. Are Coyotes a danger to my family? Most coyotes are leery of people and tend to stay away from hu-mans. However, like any wild ani-mal, they can be unpredictable and dangerous. While attacks on humans are very rare, young chil-dren should never be left unat-tended. Coyotes pose a signifi-cant threat to small pets. Will a coyote eat my pet? It is important that dogs, cats, and other pets, especially those smaller in size, not be left un-watched while outside. Pet doors should also be secured and re-member that “invisible fencing” is ineffective on coyotes. Coyotes can also be attracted to free rang-ing Domestic and feral cats. Do-mestic cats should be kept in-doors. Continued on page 2

Riddle Answers 1) None. The boat rises with the tides. Duh. 2) None. It was Noah that took animals on the ark, not Moses. 3) 4 canaries and 3 cages. If you put 1 canary in each cage, you have an extra bird without a cage. However, if you put 2 canaries in each cage you have 2 in the first cage & 2 birds in the 2nd cage and an extra cage. 4) They are triplets.

From Battery Covers to Bat Caves

GM is repurposing old Volt battery covers as habitats for owls, ducks and bats.

Rather than send the Volt battery covers to the land-fill, General Motors is sending them into the wild. The company is repurpos-ing the scrapped parts as habitat for Michigan wild-life. Yay GM!

Is it ok to feed a coyote? No. NEVER FEED ANY WILD ANIMAL, including coyotes. Feeding coyotes teaches them to associate humans with food, eventually making them very bold and unafraid. Living with coyote While some people may be up-set or even frightened by the presence of coyotes, we must understand that they are not go-ing away. No amount of “control” in the United States and Canada has ever eradi-cated the coyote. Killing, remov-ing, or trapping coyotes only opens up territories and food resources. and encourages dis-persed coyotes to move in. Curious Coyote Facts • The coyote’s Latin name,

Canis latrans, translates to “barking dog.” Researchers have identified eleven forms of vocal communication used by coyotes that include yips, barks and howls.

• Coyotes are strong swim-mers and won’t hesitate to follow prey into the water.

• The coyote has earned a place in many Native Ameri-can folk stories, often por-trayed as a prankster or trickster. It is also referred to as the Medicine Dog, Brother, Old Man Coyote and Little Wolf.

• The expansion of coyotes across the United States is largely due to the nearly successful attempts to exter-minate the gray wolf, a coy-ote predator.

• The best runners among the canines, coyotes can leap fourteen feet and run 25-30 mph, reaching speeds up to 40 mph over short dis-tances.

CHEVROLET THE ONLY BRAND WITH TWO MODELS IN 2012’S 10 BEST CARS

Chevrolet was the only brand to land two of Kelley Blue Book’s picks for the 10 Best Green Cars of 2012, with 2013 Malibu Eco and 2012 Chevro-let Volt earning platitudes for their efficiency, as well as groundbreaking green technology. The Malibu and Volt are perfect ex-amples of that effort: vehicles that focus on efficiency that also offer breakthrough green technology. For example, the 2013 Malibu Eco e-Assist technology, uses power stored in the air-cooled, lithium-ion battery to provide the needed electrical boost in various driving scenarios, optimiz-ing engine and transmission opera-tion to help increase fuel economy

through: regenerative braking, en-gine start-stop functionality, aggres-sive fuel cut-off during deceleration, and the intelligent charge/discharge of the high-voltage battery. Thanks to e-Assist technology, the Malibu Eco can travel 580 highway miles between fill-ups with a 15.8-gallon fuel tank at 12-percent increase over the previous models equipped with the 2.4-liter engine. It’s not a secret that Chevrolet and GM strive to build fuel-efficient ve-hicles that fit our customers’ needs and lifestyles. And this recognition from Kelley Blue Book confirms it.
