Description

With its uncanny night howls, unrivaled ingenuity, and amazing resilience, the coyote is the stuff of legends. In Indian folktales it often appears as a deceptive trickster or a sly genius. But legends don?t come close to capturing the incredible survival story of the coyote. As soon as Americans?especially white Americans?began ranching and herding in the West, they began working to destroy the coyote. Despite campaigns of annihilation employing poisons, gases, helicopters, and engineered epidemics, coyotes didn?t just survive, they thrived, expanding across the continent from Anchorage, Alaska, to New York?s Central Park. In the war between humans and coyotes, coyotes have won hands-down. Coyote AmericaCoyote America isn?t just the story of an animal?s survival?it is one of the great epics of our time.
