Planet is to space as part is to whole. This is a story I wrote on the South Dakota state animal the coyote. South Dakota State Animal South Dakota State Animal Coyote, common name for carnivore now widespread in North America and closely related to the wolf. Usually they hunt individually or in teams with others instead of in packs. Coyotes also prey on unprotected sheep and occasionally on weekend deer.
Coyotes probably mate for life.
They are found in every state except Hawaii. It has become so plentiful that it has appeared in suburb areas of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, And Pennsylvania. Coyotes also breed with fierce dogs to produce coy dogs, which, however, breed at not violated seasons and soon die out. The coyote belongs to the family Canidae. It is classified as Canis latrans.
