Coyote

The coyote is a canine species found in North America. It is slightly smaller than its near relative, the wolf, and the closely related eastern and red wolves. It has a similar ecological niche in Eurasia as the golden jackal. Because of its widespread distribution and abundance in North America, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has designated the coyote as a species of least concern. Coyote populations can also be found in large numbers in Mexico and Central America. The species is adaptable, allowing it to thrive in habitats that have been altered by humans.

Distribution
