Coyote

(Canis latrans)

Like wolves, coyotes hunt in packs but more commonly in pairs. Interbreeding with domestic dogs is estimated to contribute to 10-15% of a "wild" coyote's genetic makeup. It is thought that human development has actually helped increase the coyote?s range, further illustrating its dog-like adaptability.

Where: Versatile creatures, coyotes can be found anywhere in north and central America.
