The coyote is a beautiful animal. The coyote is mostly found in heavy forests. Most food on the coyotes diet is deer, and rabbits. Some times in the summer the coyote eats beavers. But most of the coyote’s diet is deer.

What the coyote looks like is there tail is bushy, it has long slender legs, it is medium size, and it has a pointed muzzle. The coyote can be a big problem to farmers in the Adirondacks. So a lot of them shoot them. They shoot them because they eat there chickens and there other animals. A lot of hunter shoots them to so they can mount them.

A lot of people don’t know there are coyotes around here so they get scared when they see them. The coyote is part of the dog family. The coyote communicates with chemical, visual, vocal, and tactile signals. Vocalizations include the growl, bark-howl, whine and yelp. Group howls and yip howls advertise territories and reunite pairs or family groups.

The coyote population is getting smaller. To stop the population from decreasing the state can stop making coyotes legal to hunt. Hopefully the population will go up in the past year. As you can see the coyote is a very fascinating animal.
