Apr. 6—With an estimated 50,000 coyotes in Washington state and increasing populations, many community members have questions about these animals.

Where do coyotes live?

According to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, these adaptable animals occupy almost every type of habitat, with the exception of islands in the state. Coyotes can live in both densely forested and well-developed areas like downtown waterfronts. They can also be found in desert-type terrain.

"Coyotes have adapted to live close to humans in many areas because food sources are easy to come by," said Staci Lehman of the DFW in an interview.
