San Francisco
Still Wild At Heart
San Francisco
Still Wild At Heart
Surrounded by water on three sides, San Francisco
was the only California county without a coyote
population—until 2001. Coyotes can now be found
in almost every corner of the city today.
In a virtual case study of the coyote’s arrival in
urban America, this compelling one-hour film
unfolds first in San Francisco, then pursues the
coyote story across the national canvas—to New
York City's Central Park; to Chicago, where more
than 2,000 coyotes live today; and to rural
California ranch lands, where sheep ranchers find
some early success in using innovative non-lethal
predator control methods to protect their livestock.
We learn how coyotes impact urban and suburban
ecosystems, and how we can coexist with them
safely. And throughout, this lyrical natural history
film features beautiful, original, and entertaining
footage of coyotes and other urban wild creatures
—quail, foxes, raccoons, herons, opossums, and
parrots—that survive and thrive in our challenging
urban habits.
