Let's review! In this section, you learned:

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 primarily eat rodents, but will also eat birds, insects, fruits, and vegetables. They do kill cats, but studies show that cats make up a very small percentage of a coyote’s diet.


4. Coyotes typically have young from March to May. Coyote pups stay with their parents throughout the summer months.
