The coyote (Canis latrans) is a canine species that is native to the North American continent. Closely related to the wolf and the dog, coyotes are in abundance throughout the continent. In fact, coyotes are not at risk of extinction because of their abundant numbers in many states, including Canada and Mexico, and other Latin American countries in Central America. The coyote has been the subject of much Native American folklore. They are also very adaptive creatures and have molded themselves into human civilization.
