Coyote America by Dan Flores

Book review: Coyote America by Dan Flores This history of the Coyote is the history of human interaction and intervention with the animal. In particular the manipulation of the environment and the elimination of other predators that allowed the coyote to flourish. Coyotes are now in every state and in every city in North America, and along with the coyote comes the long folk lore that has followed them. From being spirit animals with special powers to the myth of being a super predator that takes down animals many times their size, which just does not happen. An interesting history also of humans trying to manage the environment by poisoning so many things that results in lots of collateral damage.
