Coyote on thin ice ( $120 )

12) The coyote (Canis latrans) is found in central and north America, from Panama to Alaska. Although heavily persecuted in the past by hunting and still unpopular with farmers, the coyote is an enterprising, adaptable and intelligent animal. From a distance the more heavily furred mountain subspecies are often mistaken for wolves, but can be distinguished by their lighter build and more delicate, pointed face.
