Renowned for their cunning and versatility, coyotes have a diet that varies widely depending on their environment, consuming everything from insects to fruit and small mammals. The coyote's ability to adapt to diverse habitats ranging from deserts to urban areas has been key to their survival. Typically, these animals are solitary hunters but can exhibit pack behavior when advantageous. Their vocalizations, a hallmark of their presence, include a series of high-pitched yelps and howls that communicate territory and alertness to pack members. As human expansion continues to encroach on their natural habitats, coyotes play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling rodent and small mammal populations.
