The coyote is a clever and adaptable animal found throughout North America. Known for its distinctive howl, the coyote is a member of the dog family and often resembles a small wolf. They thrive in various habitats, from deserts to forests, and are skilled hunters, primarily feeding on small mammals, birds, and even fruits. Coyotes are social creatures and often live in family groups, but they can also be solitary. Their ability to adjust to urban environments has made them a common sight in cities. This adaptability has led to their portrayal in popular culture, such as in cartoons like Wile E. Coyote from the Looney Tunes series.
