Coyote Information Brochure from LA Animal Services

What should I do if a coyote approaches me? Wave your arms. Shout in a low, loud tone. Throw  objects at the coyote while maintaining eye contact. Make yourself look as big as possible. If you are wearing a jacket , take it off & swing around over your head. If possible go towards active or populated areas but do not turn your back & run from the coyote as that could trigger a chase.
