Wauwatosa police urging caution after seeing increase in coyotes

The Wauwatosa Police Department is now reporting an increase in coyotes and coyote activity over the past few weeks.

According to a release, this is standard during this time of the year when coyotes are starting to disperse from their birth territory and explore new areas.

If you know coyotes are present in your area, it's always important to keep a close eye on your pet when outside, regardless of their size. Police also urge residents to not feed urban wildlife in yards or local parks.
