The
Torontoist blog has a
pretty good post on
Coyotes in the city. They are certainly in the Don which is a big part of the natural areas within Toronto. The article says it all so I won't repeat anything. If anyone sees a Coyote in the Don,
email me!

I can't say for sure it was coyotes, but it certainly didn't sound like dogs to me. Sounded closer to wolves howling.
This took place during daylight hours (for a couple of minutes) when I was up in the East Don near Bermondsey last week.
Coyotes certainly perform howling behaviour like wolves. The sound is a little different (although I am no expert). According to some sources they will respond to you if call them with the right tone.
SO it sounds like you heard some coyotes. The East Don sounds like a good spot for coyotes since there is some dense brush in that area.
I was walking my dog last week and I couldn't believe it.... but I think I saw a coyote running along the side of the rail road tracks (just east of Don Mills Road). I know it was not a fox, because it was way too tall, it didn't look like a wolf or a dog - so it must have been a coyote! Has anyone else spotted one in Toronto?
