They prefer open spaces like deserts and prairies, but are also found in forests and even urban areas. Coyotes are known for their intelligence and versatility, which allows them to adjust to various environments and food sources. Typically solitary hunters, they occasionally form small packs to hunt more efficiently. Their diet is incredibly diverse, ranging from rodents and fruits to small ungulates and livestock, adapting based on availability and necessity. This adaptability has been crucial to their survival and expansion across diverse territories.
