TORONTO – Another coyote has been spotted in the Beach, over two weeks after police shot and killed another one of the animals.

Police said they shot the coyote in Cabbagetown on Feb. 10 because it was “acting aggressively.”

The latest sighting was over the weekend on Hammersmith Avenue.

The Toronto Wildlife Centre estimates there are around 2,000 coyotes in the city.

The centre told the Toronto Star, GTA residents can expect more sightings as the animals look for mates, and food after a long winter.
