Coyotes are no stranger to Florida but neighbors and people at Parque Placido in Boca Raton said their presence is a little too close to home.
“It’s concerning,” Boca Raton resident Erika Peña.
WPTVPena has been visiting Parque Placido for years. But with the recent coyote sightings, she is worried for everyone’s safety.
“We don’t want anything bad to happen to a little kid, older person, or anybody,” Peña said.
Neighbors in the area shared a Ring doorbell video with WPTV that showed a coyote taking a stroll through the park.
“Two coyotes have been seen so far,” Peña said. “It looks like a male and female since one of them is bigger than the other.”
