there have been multiple coyote attacks in stern grove over the past few months, one of them killing a small dog. this man let his small dog go off leash and he's not too worried. >> there's nothing we can really do about it. >> reporter: animal care and control recognizes coyotes are problematic in the area and says it's likely because the animals have gotten used to the surroundings. they're working to develop an educational program to teach neighbors how to scare them away and keep them from coming back. >>> tonight the contra costa county coroner is working to identify a man's body pulled from a canal. water district maintenance workers spotted the body in the contra costa canal in bay point. a two man dive team recovered the body before 3:00 this afternoon, not clear if foul play is suspected or how the body got there. there is no public access to that part of the canal. >>> a new terror flit has been foiled in press. this is the neighborhood that police locked down during a raid northwest of paris today. a french national is arrested accused of being in the advanced stages of a

she and her 72-pound sheepdog came face to face with the coyote in stern grove yesterday morning. she said it followed her and seemed unfazed by all the things city employees had taught her to do to scare it away. >> the hazing process, which we were taught that is to make yourself big. loud, stick in hand, all the precautions. clearly do not work. >> fortunately she and her dog escaped unharmed. fines remain posted, warning other parkgoers to remain cautious. it's becoming an all too familiaright in several san francisco neighborhoods. >> what the hell's going on. >> jeff markey says his dog was killed bay coyote just last week. he joined about 50 residents at today's hearing at city hall to find out how city leaders plan to handle the situation. there have been roughly 70 known coyote sightings this year within city limits. many people didn't like what they heard today. relocating is illegal. euthanizing is done only in extreme cases. at this point, birth control is not an option. >> we have to largely learn how to live with these animals. >> city leaders say they're going to co

coyotes are part of that and so if you're going to be traveling or taking your pet into the presidio, stern grove, or golden gate park, make sure they are on a leash. you don't want that situation where they see the coyote and then think they may want to encounter it which is not going to be good. so -- keep them on a leash. somebody had a great idea about carrying an umbrella and opening up it. and -- getting feedback. scare it away. flash flights. anything to make yourself be big enough that the coyote doesn't want to tangle with you. >> are there bad times to go on a walk at night, daytime, either one? >> well, so it's true that they don't really come out during the day although there have been coyotes sightings during the day. they are more of a dusk, evening type of predator. so that's probably the time you should be hyperalert but i think at this point we need to be alert all the time. >> it's raining now. and is it okay to take a dog out in the rain. of course! [ laughter ] >> so because i think if you take -- if i go out in the rain naked, which i don't, but if i were to, that it would be

in san francisco, stern grove a coyote attacked and killed a dog in september. that's why dog owners in corona heights have reason to worry. they are being warped to keep their pets on a short leash and never leave them unattended. >> leave your garbage out of their way, too. we had a problem with them in new hampshire when i lived out there and nothing like when you put your headlights on, you do, that's not a german shepherd. >> biking in mount diablo you get chased by coyotes. i tossed my peanut butter and jelly direction to go in the other direction? they came back for more! don't feed the coyotes unless you can outride them on your bike!

you might imagine, especially with multiple coyote attacks and sightings even in places like here stern grove park where there is a popular dog play area attacked months ago. so, city leaders are confirming that the number of reports of coyote encounters are up across san francisco. balboa said just saturday night his tog was in the front yard for a quick bathroom break when a coyote killed her. animal kill and control posted warning signs in the area and supervisor norman yee has called for a hearing. that was months ago. something that is critical, especially after what he winced with a dog with what he considers family i right there the next house down there is a coyote. at that point the dog is screeching and something happened very quickly. >> what is our city plan when people are getting nervous about it. do we just sit there and wait for something really bad to happen? i'm not willing to do that. >> and it's not just in this neighborhood. across ocean avenue, people snapped these photos showing coyotes just resting on their front lawn. supervisor yee set to ask animal care and control
