Fascinating article, highlighting that the coyote is one of the few species to thrive in the Anthropocene. How do such populations cross significant barriers such as the Panama Canal? I could imagine a coyote or two crossing, but how do enough breeding pairs cross?

My guess is simply by trotting across a bridge or roadway. I've come across coyotes in Chicago and they're fearless. I was walking along a major road at around 5PM and a big, fat one that had been running down the sidewalk ran right past me and bolted across the street into a wooded area of a cemetery. I was kind of zoned out and hadn't even noticed it until it was right upon me.
They've happily walked into shops with open doors too.
