The Latin name for Coyote is Canis Latrans, a small canine with erect pointed ears, slender muzzle, and busy tail. Coyotes were originally found mostly along the Great Plain of North America, but over time also began to range throughout the United States and from Central America to the Arctic. Open habitats of grasslands and sparsely wooded forests are the preferred habitat for Coyotes, although they are known to be able to adapt to many other forms of habitats. The primary food source for a Coyote would be rabbit, rodents, carrion, and ungulates such as deer. Coyotes will also eat insects and fruits such as berries. These creatures are opportunistic and will eat what is easiest to find. They are most active at night and early morning hours during the cooler hours and do not normally use dens unless when raising young. Instead, they sleep and rest in sheltered areas. When they do make dens, they prefer to use areas near rock crevices, underbrush, and steep banks. Coyote is a prevalent presence in many Native American cultures, usually a male creature known as a trickster hero.
