"If you encounter a coyote, keep a safe distance and back away slowly while maintaining eye contact, according to the agency. Don’t run because it could trigger the animal’s chase instinct. Small children and pets should be kept near adults. Make a loud noise, such as yelling or blowing a whistle, and try to make yourself look bigger by waving your arms. Fight back if the coyote makes contact and call Animal Control or 911."
