Coyotes concern alderman
Forest manager: Animals not a threat
BY GWEN SAUNDERS
STAFF WRITER
A coyote startled Randee Haven-
O’Donnell about two weeks ago
when it bounded across the trail in
front of her, pursuing a squirrel in
the Carolina North Forest.
“I had heard that coyotes were
migrating east over the last 10 to 12
years, but I just didn’t expect to see
it,” said the Carrboro resident and
member of the Board of Aldermen.
The incident sparked Haven-
O’Donnell’s concern about public
awareness of coyotes, the possibil
ity that the animals could transmit
rabies and the safety of children
walking through the woods.
She recently sent an e-mail to local
leaders presenting these concerns.
Gregory Kopsch, forest manager
for Carolina North, said coyotes,
which live in all 100 counties of
North Carolina, don’t pose a sig
nificant threat.
“The risk is very minimal; coy
otes are very reclusive and tend to
keep to themselves,” he said. “The

area they occupy now is filled with
their preferred food sources, so the
risk of human attack is very low.”
As opportunistic omnivores, coy
otes will eat anything from insects,
nuts and berries to small rodents
and deer, Kopsch said.
Coyotes tend to live in areas
similar to the Carolina North for
est on the edge of woods, in open
meadows and in uncultivated fields.
And only about a dozen or fewer
coyotes live in the forest where
Haven-ODonnell was running.
Kopsch said there is little con
cern that coyotes transmit rabies.
In 2007, 245 raccoons and 98
skunks tested positive for the dis
ease, according to the 2007 N.C.
Rabies Report
But only three of the 474 reported
rabies cases —a typical number of
annual rabies cases were coyotes.
“They are not prime transmit
ters of rabies,” Kopsch said. “They
are more susceptible to canine dis
temper and parvo disease, which
they could spread to our animal

companions.”
He said residents should keep
their dogs and cats indoors over
night and secure their trash.
Bobby Schopler, vice presi
dent of the Board of Directors
for the Piedmont Wildlife Center
in Durham, said coyotes are not
threatening animals.
He said deer are most threaten
ing to humans as they often cause
fatal car accidents.
“I’d be happy to go walking in
woods that had coyotes in them,”
Schopler said. “Coyotes have been
present in Orange County for at
least 10 years. They are a part of
our environment.”
Haven-ODonnell said her goal is
for the public to be aware of coyotes’
presence, and she recommended
that local governments and UNC
collaborate to educate people about
the animals’ behaviors.
Kopsch said he would support
a public awareness program but
stressed that coyotes are not a
threat in this area.
