Coyote Returns Home
Just a few weeks ago, a young coyote was found stuck in a canal in Antioch. He was only about three and a half months old and was separated from his family. Contra Costa Animal Services rescued the young coyote and then brought him to the wildlife hospital.
Our initial exam showed that the coyote was mildly dehydrated, had ticks in each of his ears, but was otherwise in good shape. Our dedicated staff gave him fluids for the dehydration, removed the ticks and cleaned his ears.
The next morning, the coyote had eaten all the mice and rats that staff had placed in his kennel and he was deemed a fit candidate to reunite with his family. Staff connected with the coyote's original finder who located the area where they had seen the adult female coyote.
The young coyote was placed by a nearby tree and soon, he jumped up and started running. A few minutes later, staff saw him duck down into a den. He was home safe and wildlife hospital staff and volunteers could not have been more pleased. |

Wild Times: Body Shop Camp
The bodies of different species of animals have many similarities, but they also have some very interesting differences. When an animal is sick or injured, it is important to know about these differences. This camp, which runs July 26th- July 30th and is geared for 9-12 year olds, will investigate some of the ways animals are rehabilitated and released here at the museum. Click here for registration details.
