Coyotes, in the past, have been seen as "God's dog." However, nowadays coyotes are very misunderstood. It is true that they have now been able to expand from basically coast to coast. This bothers humans to the point where coyotes are now shot on sight because of the danger they threaten to livestock and crops. They are despised, feared and hunted by humans. However, they have drawn so much attention that some scientists are now dedicated to them. These scientists have found wolf DNA mixed with the coyote in the Northeast. This explains the irregular largeness in the coyotes in the east and the new coat colors than the coyotes in the west. Studies have also shown that the coyotes are able to team with other species such as the badger. These two species work together to hunt. They are very smart and adaptable creatures and people need to realize that they are here to stay.
