Yet more real-life science

I love it when I find all these stories about hard-working scientists! Following up on my previous post about what science is all about, here’s some science happening right in some folks’ backyards. Gotta love it!

SAFETY HARBOR – The coyote was caught virtually on someone’s doorstep, but it wasn’t taken to a wildlife refuge or a farm in the country.

Instead, it went right back to the woodsy neighborhood where it was captured.

Pinellas County officials Tuesday released the coyote, now fitted with a tracking collar, into the dense woods near Philippe Parkway as part of a two-year study of urban coyotes in Florida’s most densely populated county.
