Are there coyotes (Canis latrans) in Stanley Park? Are they dangerous?
There are most likely up to about 10, but it nearly impossible to tell as they have a wide home range and are not monitored. They are generally not dangerous to humans. However, a coyote that has been fed previously or is being fed, could bite or approach you looking for a handout, and unleashed dogs could be attacked. Please don’t feed wildlife! Stay away from coyotes and if approached, make yourself look as large as you can, make lots of noise, and slowly back away; never run.
