Coyotes Among Us with Stan Gehrt - Thursday, May 2nd, 2024

View all events

The coyote. Even its image conjures up more myth than fact. From its depictions as the “trickster” in ancient fables to its portrayal as a threat to humans and their pets in modern news sources, coyotes are rarely shown in a favorable light. Now, a new book, Coyotes Among Us, pulls back the curtain on the defamed coyote, revealing the surprising truth about this unique creature.

Though harassed and hunted for generations, today the coyote persists and even thrives. Once confined to the American West, it now lives in forty-nine states, across lower Canada, throughout Mexico, and all the way to Costa Rica. Its habitat ranges from rural prairie to urban overpasses; it is the largest animal to regularly live wild within city limits.

Join us for a conversation with Stan Gehrt, PhD professor of wildlife ecology at The Ohio State University and the nation’s foremost expert on coyotes.

Registration includes a wine and cheese reception, book sale and signing, along with a presentation by Dr. Gehrt.
