Coyotes pack runs wild

Nextdoor post on Burbank coyote problem

A recent post on Nextdoor links to a recent KTLA news story on the coyote problem in Burbank and includes a video of Coyote Packs running wild through the streets of Burbank caught on a home security video and current the growing "pack" problem:

While a Burbank resident described his experience with a pack of coyotes as something out of horror movie, police were on Friday warning city residents that the wily animals were increasingly coming into neighborhoods because of the state’s drought. A surveillance video image shows coyotes in front a Burbank man's home in late July 2014. 

The dry weather has prompted an increased number of sightings of the animals, which live nearby in the Verdugo Mountains, according to the Burbank Police Department.
