Coyote

The coyote is a medium-sized member of the dog family whose flexible diet supports life in many landscapes. Individuals may forage alone, as pairs or in family groups, depending on food and season. Small mammals are frequent prey, but plant foods and scavenged material can also be important. Vocal exchanges help family members keep contact and advertise their presence. Its ability to use human-altered environments has made it a familiar urban wildlife neighbor.
