Bad Rap Week: Prowling for Coyotes in Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery
As a child, Lulu Miller had a beloved dog. But one day, the dog disappeared – and in all likelihood, it was probably eaten by coyotes. Since then, Lulu has been strangely fascinated by these crepuscular creatures. Now, she heads to Graceland Cemetery in Chicago at the crack of dawn – to marvel at the urban coyotes that make the cemetery their home, and to grapple with their longstanding bad reputations.
Plus: You can check out the coyote photos of Robert Loerzel (Lulu’s coyote guide) on his Instagram.
