There are three members of the canidae family, wolves, coyotes and foxes that can be found in the mountains here, but unlike the other two, coyotes don't seem to get same attention when spotted. I have been shown my shares of pictures where the photographer is excited thinking they have taken a picture of a wolf, only to be disappointed when it's pointed out the animal in the picture is actually a coyote. Perhaps it just comes down to seeing something that is common compared to something we see on a rare occasion. The common coyote is one of the success story, expansion of civilization has not affected their number and the studies indicate climate change will not have a negative effect on them as well. In the end common or rare, all species have a role to play in the ecosystem.
Until next moment,
