Although wolves and coyotes seem similar, they are two very separate animals.¹⁾

Although coyotes are frequently considered pests, they really aid in the reduction of rodent and other harmful animal populations.²⁾

Coyote parents cooperate to raise their young in both urban and rural coyote populations, which helps to enhance survival rates.³⁾

Both wolves and dogs may breed with coyotes. For instance, the eastern coyotes, a species of hybrid coyote known as “coywolves” and “coydogs,” possess both wolf and dog DNA.⁴⁾

Because they can swim well, coyotes have colonized islands and expanded their numbers.⁵⁾
