Friends of Rouge National Urban Park 
I’m confused by the ‘?’
Are you questioning if there are coyotes in Rouge National Park? Of course there are: in fact, the coyotes seen in Altona Forest are often spotted near the hydro corridor area – where they enter from the Rouge route. This is good for their health and genetic diversity because Altona is a small area and left as an ‘island of green’ enclosed in now-suburbia. Coyotes are a sign of a healthy ecosystem – no system is complete without an apex predator and they rid the area of excess rodent populations, carrion, and maintain balance.

I had previously seen the Suzuki docu…
