Officials Say Coyote Spotted in South Fargo Likely Harmless

Leier says they usually don't pose a threat to people or pets

FARGO, ND — A coyote has been spotted in a south Fargo neighborhood.

But Game and Fish Biologist Doug Leier says people shouldn’t be overly concerned.

The coyote has been spotted in the Woodhaven development west of I-29 and south of 40th Avenue South.

Leier says coyote-sightings in the city are not all that uncommon.

He says typically, they lay low during daylight hours and only come out at night.

Leier says they usually don’t pose a threat to people or pets.
