The North American Wild Dog is commonly referred to as a COYOTE, which is a six-letter word. Coyotes are native to North America and are found in many different habitats, including deserts, forests, and grasslands. They are omnivorous animals, meaning they eat both plants and animals, and are known for their howling vocalizations. Coyotes are highly adaptable and have been able to survive in urban areas as well as rural ones.
