The Coyote

Coyotes are furry critters that might remind you of your pet dog at home, though they're a bit wilder! Standing about 25 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 20 to 50 pounds, these canines sport a coat of gray, white, tan or brown fur, and have bright, yellow eyes. They have pointy ears, slender muzzles, and bushy tails. Coyotes are super-adaptable, living in deserts, forests, mountains and even cities across North America.
