Coyotes
are related to dogs and wolves and live mainly in North America.
They live on birds, rats, mice as well as small birds and large
insects. When they are hunting, they can run very fast, sometimes
up to forty miles an hour.

- Some people,
usually farmers raising sheep or other small animals, feel the coyote
should be destroyed. But, other people feel the coyote does a good
job keeping the number of rats and other pests from getting too large.

- The howling
of a coyote can sound scary and many people are afraid of them. But,
usually, they are not a threat to people, although any animal can
be dangerous if cornered, frightened or sick.
