Critter Track is a standards-based education program designed for Illinois high school, middle school, and elementary school students.

Several urban and rural Illinois coyotes (and a few bobcats and foxes as well) have been fitted with satellite tracking collars, making it possible to monitor and analyze their movements and behavior over time. This presents a unique learning opportunity for students and the community to familiarize themselves with their mysterious four-legged community members.
