Coyotes live in deserts, mountains, on farm and ranch land, and even in the suburbs. They are very intelligent and curious.
Coyotes often mate for life. The parents are very devoted to their litter of cubs.
Although ranchers believe that coyotes are pests, in fact they rarely kill livestock. Efforts to get rid of them have failed. They are just too smart and adaptable.
