A coyote was spotted in Philadelphia's Logan section, captured on video by a local resident. Authorities in the area have also reported capturing and relocating a coyote that had snatched a terrier dog. The director of communications for the Schuylkill Center Wildlife Clinic notes that as development pressures increase on their habitat, coyotes are becoming more visible.
