1. Coyotes originated from deserts and prairies in Mexico and central North America, but are now found from Mexico to Canada.
2. Western coyotes weigh about as much as a Whippet (around 15-40 pounds), but their dense fur can make them appear larger.
3. Coyotes are opportunistic. They commonly eat rabbits, rodents, and other small mammals, but also eat birds, insects, fruits, and vegetables.
4. Coyotes typically have young from March to May. Coyote pups stay with their parents throughout the summer months.
