Books Details:
Somewhere far out on a sprawling prairie, a tawny, medium-sized canid stretches, blinks, points its muzzle toward the twilight sky and howls—a quick series of high-pitched staccatos followed by a prolonged siren sound. It is the cry of the coyote (ky-oat, ky-6-tee, k^-ute, or ky-ute). The howl might be regarded as a sort of reminder of the extreme success of the species.
Whereas the coyote’s cousin, the wolf, long ago lost its battle with man throughout all but a tiny portion of the contiguous 48 United States, the coyote has actually extended its range and filled in where the wolf was exterminated. In the New England states for example, the coyote has even shown signs of having undergone a quick spurt of evolution. Some think this rapid change in size has helped the creature partly fill that food niche once preempted by the wolf.
