Recent incidents in Chicago involving coyotes have left residents surprised and authorities on high alert. A coyote was captured from an Aldi store fridge, and another caused a United Airlines plane to declare an emergency after a collision during takeoff at O'Hare Airport. These events are attributed to the coyote mating season, which typically runs from January to March, leading to increased activity in urban areas.
