COYOTE This animal, a small wolf Canis ), is sometimes called the prairie wolf or brush wolf It is found in the western sections of the United States It is less tan four feet long and weighs about thirty pounds It looks much like a small German shepherd, but has a bushier tail. It has a sharp, yapping bark. The coyote has leed to adapt itself to human civilization, oen liv ing within the outer boundaries of cities and towns It is intelligent; sometimes a female will deliberately lure a domesticated dog out where the rest of the pack can kill it The coyote can rn for short distances at a speed up to fortyfive miles an hour. These creatures are best nown for their howling at night To Native Americans, the coyote was the archetypal Trickster Hero, who stole fire for humans, but also could bring oods Coyote was a spirit of te night, with great magickal pow ers. Although he was said to be able to lead one out of danger, he was more often associated with death, pain, and evil
