Northern Coyotes

     Coyotes are wild canines with dog or wolflike features. Coyotes used to live in only prairies and desserts of West America and Mexico. Now coyotes are found mainly in North America roaming forrests and mountains.  That is why coyotes have adapted the name northern coyote.
     Northern coyotes are omnivores and can eat lots of things. Things that they come across such as rabbit, rodents, fish, frog, and deer. They also eat insects, snakes, fruit, and carrion (dead animal flesh).
     Northern coyotes are smaller than wolves. They can grow up to 32-37 inches(81-94 centimeters). Northern coyotes can weigh up to about 20-50 pounds (9-23 kilograms). Northern coyotes can run up to 40 miles (64 kilometers) an hour. 
     If you are out camping somewhere in South Canada or North America, you will probably be able to hear Northern Coyotes calling out in the night. Their call can turn into a strident canine chorus. This call is the way northern coyote communicate with eachother. When they  communicate, their calls can sound like dog calls. Just a little higher in pitch. Coyotes can make interesting sound.
