Not even a river will stop coyotes. They'll jump and swim away. All animals need food, water, shelter and space to survive. As a predator they primarily eat rabbits and mice. They also eat fruits, especially persimmons, when available.
Coyotes drink any available water, from rivers, ponds or puddles.
Coyotes live in nearly all types of habitat. They sleep on the ground most of the year and in den during the pup-rearing season. The home range is between 3 and 30 square miles.
