    Deconstructing the diet of a coyote

    Although we mostly obsess on this show over the many and myriad kinds of food eaten by humans, some of you living in the big city might be curious about what coyotes are eating. Maybe you’ve seen these wily predators skulking the streets at dusk and dawn.

    Although we mostly obsess on this show over the many and myriad kinds of food eaten by humans, some of you living in the big city might be curious about what coyotes are eating. Maybe you’ve seen these wily predators skulking the streets at dusk and dawn. In some parts of the country, including right here in LA, the drought has brought them out of the mountains and canyons and onto our blocks in search of food and water. Avishay Artsy, producer of “DnA: Design and Architecture” on KCRW, has the scoop on a new National Park Service survey aimed at better understanding what coyotes eat — from BBQ chicken and food wrappers to dog food and other animals.
