Coyotes are found throughout the United States (except Hawaii) and in most of Canada. Prior to 1900, coyotes were restricted to areas west of the Mississippi in the United States and west of Ontario’s Lake Nipigon in Canada. The coyote’s success is attributed to the coyote’s ability to adapt. Coyotes have adjusted well to human disturbed environments, and now thrive in close proximity to people. The coyote is a member of the canid family, which includes both wolves and domestic dogs.
