According to the video, what is one reason why coyote sightings in Chicago might increase during February?

February is the peak mating season for coyotes in Chicago, leading to increased activity and visibility.

What advice is given to dog owners in areas where coyotes are present?

Keep dogs on a leash and, if a coyote approaches, pick up small dogs and walk away.

When they have litters, because they become protective of their den area.

Females reduce their litter size and only the alpha pair in a territory breeds.

They are extremely monogamous, with alpha pairs forming lifelong bonds.

I can analyze the impact of urbanization on local wildlife populations.

Coyotes are found throughout the Chicago region, even in downtown areas like Navy Pier, but are more visible due to less vegetation cover this time of year.

The alpha pair of coyotes form a bond and remain monogamous for life, and they control population by reducing litter size and only allowing the alpha pair to breed.
