contents Aggressive coyote behavior toward a human being at Volcán Barva, Costa Rica Ivan Literák Johana Polásková Martina Literáková Biología man Attack carnivore Central America Coyotes occur in Costa Rica and their population is increasing. In August 2010, the first author visited Braulio Carrillo National Park and approached 3 coyotes. The unusual coyote behavior was analyzed using unique photographs and is ascribed primarily to maternal aggression that was possibly combined with fear-induced and territorial aggressions. As coyotes continue to adapt to suburban environments, and as their populations expand throughout Central America, coyote interactions with humans can be expected more often to occur in this region. 2012 artículo científico 1870-3453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42523212034 http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=425 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad (México) Num.1 Vol.83
