Coyote population is booming in Florida. They’ve even been seen on the beach.

South Floridians are always on the lookout for creatures big and small, from alligators to pythons to disease-carrying mosquitoes. We can now add coyotes to that list.

They’ve inundated South Florida to such a level that Broward County Parks, along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, held an online coyote seminar this spring to inform residents how to deal with coyotes.

The FWC said there’s no population estimate for coyotes in Florida, but they’ve been spotted in all 67 counties in Florida, even on beaches.

Angeline Barker, a biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told News Channel 10 that coyotes arrived by walking across bridges and roads — or they swam.

“It turns out, coyotes are fairly strong swimmers,” Barker said.

Coyotes can thrive in urban, suburban and rural areas because they’re adaptable, according to the FWC. They can eat almost everything humans eat ― including fruits, nuts and seeds, and they can eat pet food, garbage, rodents, domestic cats and small dogs. ..........

Hey ... that was then ....right now DeSantis  has been a good choice by the voters.  He's one of the few governors helping to build that wall down in TX.  Just sayin'
