Coyote Animal Investigation
What animal is known to be a trickster and the Native Americans had great respect for? It is the Coyote (Canis latrans) and that is the animal that I have chosen for my Animal Investigation report. There short high pitched barks distinguish them selves from other similar animals, but are known to be quite sneaky and seeing a Coyote in the wild is quite rare because they seem to be afraid of humans in general. What other animal has the same exact characteristics as a Coyote? None, because there behavior is so different and therefore makes them unique. The Coyote, also known as the Desert Wolf belongs to the Order Carnivore and Family Canidae. Coyotes are very adaptable mammals often seen in rural and urban habitats of deserts, fields and farmlands. Their thick bushy tail, long pointy nose, and pointy ears make them stand out. They're about the size of a German shepherd, but slimmer boned and half the weight. An average coyote weighs about twenty-five to thirty five-pounds and there top speed for running is thirty miles per hour. In winter, the
ir coat grows very thick to help them keep warm. They can be told apart from their larger cousin the wolf and domestic dogs because coyotes carry there tail low when running where wolves and dogs carry their tail high. If the USA doesn't get back into trapping animals for fur or to make certain things out of, then the Coyote will survive and it's population can flourish. In time I'm sure the population will get too high and it will have to be controlled, but I don't see that happening for quite a while in Minnesota for sure, if it ever does happen. The Coyote seems to have good skills to survive and a strong sense of awareness when it comes to any land there on. Personally I've never seen one except few people ever have due to the fact they seem to be vastly afraid of humans and don't seem to enjoy there presence. To sum it up, I learned quite a bit of facts about the Coyote like mating habits, migratory behavior, population census, habitat needs, etc and thought it was interesting. The Coyote is a non-migratory animal and there movements usu
