Report A Sighting
Important Notice – Please Read Before Submitting a Report
This form is intended solely for informational and data collection purposes. Submitting a coyote sighting report does not initiate a field response from Coyote Watch Canada. This includes reports submitted directly, through referral by a government agency, or via third-party platforms.
Coyote Watch Canada is not an emergency response or enforcement agency. The data collected through this form is used exclusively to support public education, research, and community-based coexistence strategies. It is not monitored in real time, and should not be used to report urgent wildlife concerns.
For immediate assistance, please contact your local animal services, bylaw enforcement, or provincial/national wildlife authorities.
Do you require information about a wild canid (coyote, fox, or wolf)?
If you are experiencing uncertainty about a wild canid—distinctive behaviour, potential human-wildlife interactions, or an animal that you believe to be sick, injured, or in distress—please complete the form below. Our Canid Response Team can provide support through educational outreach, resources, and in some cases, rescue assessment or intervention.
If you are simply requesting our educational wildlife door hangers to help raise awareness in your community, you may also use the same form to submit your request. If you have questions about coyotes, review our website content for more information.
Please provide as much detail as possible in your submission to help us assess the situation accurately and determine the appropriate next steps. Our Canid Response Team is active in the field, so a delay in communication may occur. We appreciate your understanding.
