The Secret Lives of Urban Coyotes and Foxes

Did you know that coyotes, red foxes, and even gray foxes are living right here in our neighborhoods? Join University of Minnesota researcher Geoff Miller for an eye-opening look at the Twin Cities Coyote and Fox Project. Using GPS tracking collars, researchers follow these adaptable urban carnivores to learn how they survive and interact in landscapes shaped by people. Geoff will share fascinating local stories—including research conducted near Thompson Park itself—and reveal what these surprising neighbors can teach us about wildlife in modern Minnesota.
