Slimmer than a wolf, the coyote has pointed ears, a narrow muzzle, grey-brown fur with rusty legs and a bushy black-tipped tail carried low. It ranges from Alaska and Canada through the United States to Central America, in prairies, forests, deserts and cities. Rodents and rabbits are its staple prey, along with fruit and carrion. Look for it at dawn and dusk, and listen for yips and howls at night.
