Coyotes in (urban) Rhode Island

While looking over the Providence Journal website for storm news, I ran across an ongoing reader-feedback page devoted to coyote spottings. A number of respondents were going on about how we shouldn't complain about their presence, seeing that we are the interlopers -- rather overlooking the fact that coyotes are recent arrivals from out West, not documented in the state until 1969.

Coyotes keep down the rodent population and prey on cats and small dogs as well. They are the quintessential survivors. I envision a post-apocalyptic world populated by pigeons, coyotes and cockroaches.
