Coyote Seen in Parkland
There have been a number of sightings of a Florida coyote (not believed to be a cougar) within the City of Parkland (“Parkland”) municipal limits. Upon receipt of this information, the City immediately contacted the Broward County Sheriff’s Office (“BSO”). BSO contacted Broward County Animal Control (the City does not have its own Animal Control Division). The City is recommending that you take steps when you encounter a coyote or take actions on or around your property to discourage a coyote from coming to your property. Exercising common sense around coyotes is the best protection against encounters. Additional information is located on the City's web page at www.cityofparkland.org
