What are Coyotes?
Coyotes are omnivores that eat other animals, insects, vegetation, fruit and seeds, including birdseed and food scraps. They are a part of the dog family with long legs, oversized pointed ears and large bushy tails with black tips. An average adult coyote weighs 9-14 kilograms and is just over a metre long from nose tip to the tip of its tail. Coyotes have light grey or tan coats of variable lengths and slim pointed muzzles.
