Many residents of Irvine express concerns about coyote sightings and the consequences of predator animals within the urban setting.  Some animal owners have lost their pets to these skilled hunters because many are not aware of recent coyote activity in the area.

Coyotes are found in ALL areas of Orange County. Contrary to popular belief, these animals do not require open space or “wild areas” to survive. In fact, most coyotes within the urban setting are the offspring of generations of coyotes who lived and flourished in the urban areas of Orange County.

Coyote sightings are common in communities throughout Southern California. The information presented on this page is intended to provide information and resources about coyote behavior and habitation in our City.
