The Coyote – DesertUSA Video
About This Video
The coyote (Canis latrans) is one of the most adaptable predators in North America. Found throughout the deserts of the Southwest, coyotes thrive in both rural and urban environments. In this DesertUSA video, you’ll learn how coyotes hunt, communicate through a range of howls and yips, and survive harsh desert conditions. Often misunderstood, these intelligent and curious animals play a critical role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by keeping rodent populations in check. If you've ever heard their eerie nighttime calls echoing across the desert, this video will help explain what they mean.

It is considered sacred by the Navajo Indians, for whom personified rainbows have stood as guardians of the universe.
