Coyote

Coyotes are slender, adaptable, dog-like predators found throughout nearly all of North America, from Alaska down to Central America — a range that's expanded dramatically east and north over the past century as forest clearing and declining wolf populations opened up new territory. Their diet shifts opportunistically with whatever's on offer — rodents, rabbits, birds, fruit, carrion — a flexibility that lets coyotes persist in everything from remote wilderness to city neighborhoods. They're highly social, often forming family units or loose packs, and will interbreed with wolves, red wolves, and domestic dogs where ranges overlap.
