A large, active and highly intelligent member of the dog family, coyotes are described as winey, cunning and sneaky, but what they really are is flat out smart.  They are on elf the most adaptable and skilled survivors in the animal kingdom, existing on snowy mountain ranges, desolate deserts and big cities up and down North and Central America from. Panama to Alaska.  The coyote diet is 90% meat and the other 10% is fruits and vegetables, including prickly pears, grains and beans.
