Coyotes are found throughout Lake County and are often seen roaming around Lake Zurich.

Coyotes are rarely dangerous to people. The key to living with coyotes is remembering that they are naturally afraid of people.

The most effective way to prevent a bad encounter with a coyote is to reinforce this natural fear through your behavior.

Do not approach coyotes, let your pets approach it or feed it.

Shouting and waving arms will reinforce their fear of people.
