Coyote Canis latrans
Coyotes can occasionally be seen within the confines of the reserve, though they probably den somewhere in the hills along San Jose Creek. They prey mainly on rabbits, mice, and ground squirrels, but will also eat fruits, berries, insects, and carrion when available. Coyotes have adapted well to human activity due to their nocturnal nature and versatile appetites. They may be glimpsed prowling around the less visited sections of the reserve during the late evening or early morning hours as they search for food. |
