A coyote was spotted around 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Ponderosa Park in Sunnyvale.
The city said coyote sightings have increased recently, and when people see them, many call 911.
However, officials urge people not to do that and remind residents that if they encounter a coyote, they should stand tall, wave their arms and make loud noises.
