About this audiobook
From the Arctic Circle to Costa Rica, from Maine to the tip of Baja, California, the coyote thrives like no other animal in North America. It roams the Canadian wilderness and prowls the Arizona deserts and beyond. Over time this highly intelligent animal has learned to adapt to big cities, such as Los Angeles. It has even been sighted in Bronx, New York. But the coyote is not always welcome. Farmers and cattle ranchers, who lose valuable sheep, chickens, and cows to the hungry dog, view it as a damaging predator. On the other hand, supporters of the coyote argue that, like the wolf, the coyote plays an important role in nature. In this fascinating book, Steve Swinburne draws the reader into the secretive world of the coyote. His balanced and though-provoking text, illustrated with dramatic full-color photographs, examines how the coyote behaves and survives. He considers the past and present history of the coyote and what the future may hold in store for North America's native dog.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book gives you very descriptive information about Coyotes. It even includes chapters, and fact boxes that give additional interesting facts about the animal.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"Coyote" is book for readers aged 6-12. Plenty of photographs show coyotes and the differences between themselves and Wolves.Clear ranges & dates are provided for understanding where the reader can find coyotes (and when). Many small, easy-to-read "Coyote Facts" are presented in small insets in every chapter.The author writes from a 1st-person perspective while writing about the coyote, and the writing drags a bit as a result. Hearing his experiences with watching coyotes and following their tracks is about as exciting as it sounds. His attempts to wax philosophic in the book are a little cheesy and don't really belong in a field guide-style book.
