Canis latrans

Also known as Prairie Wolf, Brush Wolf, American Jackal

Coyotes are highly adaptable North American canids celebrated for their iconic nighttime yips and howls used to communicate group location and bond with family members. Thriving in environments ranging from wild prairies and desert scrub to dense urban parks, they adjust their diet opportunistically across the seasons. Monogamous pairs maintain strict lifelong bonds, raising litters of pups together in sheltered dens each spring.
