Coyote

The coyote (or Canis latrans) is a species of canid that lives throughout the diverse environments of North and Central America. Its coat colour ranges from reddish brown to reddish grey, varied depending on the time of year and geographical area. Throat and belly tend to be slightly paler. Coyotes have a skinny build with large pointed ears and a narrow, pointed snout. Male and female coyotes look alike, but males tend to be larger and heavier than females. They measure 73cm to 94cm in head-body length, the tail being 26cm to 35cm long, 38cm to 51cm in shoulder height, and weigh between 7.7kg and 14.8kg.
