Ms Sofer said the coyotes had been using the doghouse since Saturday and could be seen leaving early in the mornings , NBC New York reported . Her daughter Maayan said : 'One time I even thought it was my mom screaming . It 's so loud it 's like shrieking noises . It is really scary . ' The animals have adapted to living in close quarters with humans and have learned to navigate tasks associated with built-up areas - such as crossing busy roads and avoiding cars . Over the past few years they have spread to nearly every corner of the United States - wreaking havoc by preying on domestic pets and even attacking children . But the suburban sprawl and increase in out-of-town developments have prompted some to migrate to more urban areas .
