The Town of Okotoks is warning of a recent coyote sighting.
A protective coyote with pups was seen in Laudan Park on the west side of town.
Anyone in the area is advised to keep their pets close by, as coyotes have been known to attack them.
While all cougar and bear sightings should be reported, coyote sightings do not need to be unless it was a close or aggressive encounter.
Aggressive coyotes can be reported to the Report-A-Poacher line at 1-800-642-3800.
The Town of Okotoks' website has information on the various wildlife seen around town.
