Prairie wolves, also known as COYOTES, are a species of canine native to North America. They are smaller than their wolf relatives and have adapted to living in a variety of habitats, including prairies, deserts, and even urban areas. COYOTES are highly intelligent and social animals, often forming packs and living in family groups. They are omnivorous, eating small mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and fruits. COYOTES are an important part of the ecosystem, helping to keep populations of other animals in balance.
