These animals are getting so used to being in urban and suburban areas around Illinois that they no longer fear humans and are getting much too aggressive.
A drama played itself out recently involving a coyote in Illinois in a bad situation. The poor animal had a container stuck on its head, but fortunately heroes in the Land of Lincoln came to the rescue.
I witnessed how a driver in Illinois dealt with some wild animals blocking the road and I thought it was hilarious but I don't think it was meant to be.
