(AP) -- Officials say coyotes are making their way into another Detroit suburb. Royal Oak Nature Society President Don Drife tells The Daily Tribune that an animal expert looked at photos taken March 18 in Royal Oak and confirmed that the animal spotted by a resident was a coyote.
Drife said he's been looking for signs of coyotes since fox started calling the woods near Royal Oak High School home. He recommends pet owners keep lids on garbage cans, cats indoors and not leave small dogs leashed to fences.
Coyotes have been spotted in other suburbs including Bloomfield Hills, Livonia and the Grosse Pointe communities.
