ANATOMY/ PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The female Coyote weighs pounds and the male coyote only weighs about The Coyotes most common colors are gray, brown, and tan. A very interesting thing is that the fur turns dark in summer and light in winter. That allows the coyotes to blend in with their surroundings. The coyote’s paws are used for attacking and eating they are also used for sprinting away from the predators that want some lunch. Size relative to a 6-ft (2-m) man:

Locomotion (movement) One coyote can sprint up to 45 MPH (Miles per hour) From our point of view from where our arms and legs are at the coyote runs with it’s left leg and it’s right paw then it’s right leg and it’s left paw. Running like this helps them pick up more speed.

Diet and food chain The coyote eats mice, small animals, rabbits, birds, large insects, grass hoppers, and rodents. Coyotes eat nuts and berries too, but in winter the coyotes need a lot more food than usual. At the same time,. they are expert at not wasting energy by hunting when the critters aren't moving. They have proven that the coyote needs a lot more to eat in extremely cold weather. One of the biologists with the Kentucky dept. of fish & wildlife said that on average, every adult coyote will take down 5 deer a year, all ages of deer included.

Habitat The coyotes shelter is about 5 to 30 feet long, and 3 feet deep. Coyotes keep their cubs in the cave and pushes dirt around the door to cover it up from predators. Their dens can be found in hollow trees, between rocks, or on steep hills. They can live in snowy, sandy, rocky, or a forest kind or of a biome.

Adaptations If they live in a snow biome they adapt to the cold. When they live in a dessert they adapt to the heat. If they live in a rocky biome thy have adapted to climbing steep hills.

Life Cycle Then there growing up Then there a adult Then there pregnant Then the Coyotes are born

Behavior\Something Special Some things that are amazing about the coyote. 1.Coyotes use their sense of smell when hunting. They can even smell something under snow! They can also smell if bigger animals are around that might be dangerous. 2. Coyotes primarily communicate with high-pitched cries. Along with high-pitch cries coyotes can communicate by howls, yelps, and growls. Did you know family groups yelping in unison can create the illusion of a dozen or more performing together? These cries and howls can be heard around dawn and dusk. 3. So that they do not get detected by predators, sometimes coyotes walk on their toes to make as little noise as possible.
