COLUMBUS, Ohio --  Jan 15, 2014 Ohio State University’s Stan Gehrt, a noted authority on urban coyotes, will be one of the experts featured in next week’s episode of the PBS show “Nature.”

“Meet the Coywolf,” a look at the origin and spread of a new coyote-wolf hybrid in northeastern North America, including into cities such as Boston, New York and Toronto, airs at 8 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, Jan. 22, on PBS (check local listings).

Gehrt is a wildlife ecologist in Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. As part of his work, he leads the Chicago-area Cook County Coyote Project, the largest study ever on urban coyotes.

“No one has been studying coyotes in urban areas as long as he has, and his breadth of knowledge gathered over many, many months and years in the field is unrivaled,” said the film’s producer-director, Susan Fleming. “The combination of his knowledge and his incredible work ethic made him an invaluable resource for the film.”
