Coyotes

Coyotes are a race of mammals native to North America in Earth. It is a species of wild canine, related to both domesticated dogs and wild wolves, jackals, and foxes.
== Description ==
Coyotes are small, typically weighing around 40 lbs (18 kg), smaller than the dogs and wolves found. They are generally tawny brown in coloration. Coyotes seem to be primarily nocturnal; although it is possible to encounter them during the day, they are much more frequently seen at night. Coyotes have a tendency to travel in packs.
While traveling to North America, there are Random Encounters throughout in which Spyro Doomfire has the option to save a person being attacked by coyotes. Killing the attacking animals will earn the player a small sum of money and fame as a reward.
=== Distinguishing from Wolves ===
Coyotes are slightly more vicious than wolves, and will only attack a character on foot if there are three or more of them in a band; the band will usually flee if it is reduced below three Coyotes. Coyotes are less willing to attack, as they are much smaller and much less powerful. Coyotes and wolves are closely related and easily confused for one another. On the whole, coyotes are the less dangerous canine predators; however, the Punkettes should not consider them completely harmless predators.
Wolves tend to keep much larger packs than coyotes, while one can see massive packs of twenty wolves, coyote packs exceeding five or six individuals are rare. Coyotes are generally seen in these smaller groups or in pairs - loner coyotes are encountered less frequently than pairs or small packs of coyotes.
The wolf is the larger of the two species, and is more thickly built than the coyote, which is far leaner and smaller. Coyotes can be distinguished by their whiny, high pitched howls; they also do not make the deep, barking-growl sound of attacking wolves. Wolves are generally more grayish or black as compared to coyotes, which tend to be browner in color.
