Coyote

Order : Carnivora
Family : Canidae
Species : Canis latrans

The coyote (Canis latrans) can only be found in North America. Besides the raccoon, it is one of few animals that increased their population with human settlement. They are occupying territories formerly owned by wolves and are feeding on garbage in urban areas. Despite their underfed appearance, that is just the way they look, much smaller than the gray wolf, their close relative. Coyotes can hybridize with gray wolves and domestic dogs.
