Coyote

The coyote (Canis latrans) is a wild canid native to North America. Its flexible diet and behavior let it thrive across habitats ranging from deserts and forests to cities.

Canis latrans: Canis latrans is the scientific name of the coyote, a species in the dog family. This binomial identifies the species across its wide range.
Urban coyote: An urban coyote is a coyote living in or near a developed human settlement. Urban populations show how the species adjusts its routines around people.
Coyote–human conflict: Coyote–human conflict includes harmful encounters and disputes over safety, pets, livestock, or property. Understanding the causes of conflict helps target prevention instead of indiscriminate control.
Gray wolf: The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is a large canid native to much of the Northern Hemisphere. Wolves are larger relatives that can compete with coyotes and alter their abundance.
Pleistocene: The Pleistocene is the geological epoch from about 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, marked by repeated ice ages. Coyote evolution and diversification unfolded during this epoch.
Canidae: Canidae is the mammal family that includes dogs, wolves, foxes, and other canids. Coyotes share ancestry and many traits with this broader family.
Coyote dispersal: Coyote dispersal is the movement of young or subordinate animals away from their birthplace or territory. Dispersal enables coyotes to colonize new landscapes and reconnect populations.
Coyote hazing: Coyote hazing uses assertive human actions to discourage coyotes from approaching people. It aims to reinforce wariness in places where coyotes and people overlap.
Red fox: The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a widespread fox species with a reddish coat and bushy tail. Foxes overlap with coyotes in some habitats and may compete for small prey.
Great American Biotic Interchange: The Great American Biotic Interchange was the movement of animal lineages between North and South America after the Isthmus of Panama formed. The interchange shaped the broader history of North American canids.
