Urban Coyotes Eat A Lot of Garbage—And Cats

The study, published in PLOS One, focused on coyotes in the Los Angeles area. Led by Rachel Larson, who at the time was a biology graduate student at California State University Northridge, researchers studied the animals using two different methods. The first was poop. Aided by around 150 citizen scientists, the team collected and dissected the feces—or “scat”—of coyotes across Los Angeles, Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks, scooping poop from both urban and suburban areas. They were searching for tangible signs of anything the coyotes may have been eating, like fur, feathers, bones and seeds. -- Smithsonian Magazine

Column: Here’s how my family handled the first week of no school. Hint: There were some slammed doors

The problem in our house — and I suspect we are not alone in this — is that I am not by nature a teacher, despite the fact that both of my parents were. My father taught American literature at Cal State Northridge; my mother was an itinerant teacher for deaf and hard-of-hearing kids in L.A. Unified. Both were wonderful with students. -- Los Angeles TImes
