That's becoming a much more common experience for people living in one section of Wildwood. Residents in the Holly Beach neighborhood have reported a noticeable increase in coyote sightings over the last few weeks. Why Are Coyotes Showing Up in Holly Beach? As their habitat overlaps with neighborhoods, they’ll often search for "easy meals", including trash, pet food that's left outside, or other sources of food deemed good enough to satisfy their hunger. Once wild animals begin associating people with food, they’re more likely to return and lose their natural fear of humans, increasing the chances of future encounters.
