Janet Kessler “The Coyote Whisperer”

Janet “The Coyote Lady” Kessler is a self-taught naturalist who has spent nearly two decades
conducting daily field research documenting urban coyote behavior and family life. In this
presentation, Kessler will share her first-hand information, compassion and love for the
animals.. Kessler will discuss where they are, who they are and how to get along. She will also
describe what to expect if you have a dog and you encounter a coyote. Recently, she has been
able to map the general extent of each of their territories and some of their dispersal here in the
City. Kessler has collaborated with Dr. Benjamin Sacks’ genetic lab at UC Davis where the DNA
from scat she collected is being analyzed. Please visit http://www.coyoteyipps.com and
