A map showing some of the places where foxes and coyotes roam in Madison, Wisconsin. It was collected from GPS collars placed on the animals by David Drake, professor of forest and wildlife ecology, and his former graduate student, Marcus Mueller,as part of a study of urban canids. Marked in blue are the coyote home ranges, and in red are the fox home ranges. Fox and coyotes show more tendency to overlap in urban settings than in rural ones, according to a new study published by the researchers in Jan. 2018.
