The Potter League for Animals, in collaboration with The Conservation Agency's Narragansett Bay Coyote Study, this week announced the opening of the Coyote Info Line, which is 924-HOWL (4695.)

A knowledgeable wildlife expert will man the phone. Individuals concerned about immediate safety issues will be directed to call their local police department.

The Coyote Info Line is supported by a grant from the Prince Charitable Trust made to the Potter League for Animals.
