Predators The most common enemy that coyotes face is disease. Bears, wolves and mountain lions will also prey upon coyotes. Humans pose problems for coyotes as they try to navigate across our busy roads. Many coyotes are struck and killed by cars every year Home Coyotes have a central den site which is used for rearing the pups and sleeping. Adaptations Coyotes adjust their hunting style to what foods are available. When they hunt small prey alone, they usually stalk it and then pounce. If the prey is larger like a deer, they will often hunt in small packs and work together to kill the prey. Habitat Coyotes are known for how well they adapt to different habitats. They can even be found living in and around large cities. In the Sonoran Desert, coyotes can be found in all habitats from desert scrub, grasslands, foothills as well as in populated neighborhoods. Range Coyotes can be found throughout North America from eastern Alaska to New England and south into Mexico and Panama. Wild Status Currently the coyote population is stable. Coyote Fact SheetAnimal Fact Sheet: Coyote Identifying Features Coyotes are often mistaken for small to medium sized domestic dogs. They have a long, bushy black-tipped tail, pointed ears and a narrow pointed face. Their fur varies in color, from light brown to grayish. The fur on their belly is usually white. They will scent mark the area around the den and defend it from other coyotes. The den can be a burrow dug into the ground, or under a rock outcropping, a tree or a bush. If the area gets disturbed the mother will often move the pups to a safer location. Life Span In the wild, coyotes live between 10-14 years. In captivity they are known to live much longer, as many as 20 years. Size A desert coyote usually weighs between 15 to 25 pounds. They stand about 25 inches tall and are 4 feet in length. Quick Facts Coyotes "sing" as a way to communicate with other coyote families and as a way to keep track of their own family members. Game Preview: Nashville Predators vs Arizona Coyotes 2/ Nashville Predators vs. Arizona Coyotes Game 1 They are not listed as threatened or endangered. Diet Coyotes are omnivores, which means they will eat or try to eat just about anything. In the Sonoran Desert coyotes vary their diet with the seasons. Cactus fruit, mesquite beans, flowers, insects, rodents, lizards, rabbits, birds, and snakes make up some of their dietary choices.
