Coyotes are a natural part of Florida’s wildlife and can occasionally be spotted in residential communities. While these animals are generally shy and avoid human interaction, it’s important for residents to understand how to safely coexist with them. Simple precautions, such as keeping pets on leashes, securing trash, removing outdoor food sources, and never feeding wildlife, can help prevent unwanted encounters. Boca West Master Association encourages all residents to stay informed and take proactive steps to protect themselves, their families, and their pets.
