In 2010, 150 coyotes (Canis latrans) were counted in Pierce County, WA. And the growth rate is 14 coyortes per year. Following a survey of the community, the social carrying capacity of coyotes was around 500 individuals. How long will it take for the coyote population to reach this human tolerance goal?
