Coyote Pin

(Canis latrans) Coyotes known for being "wily"; they are quite smart creatures and have a heightened sense of hearing, smell and sight. As humans take over more and more countryside, coyotes are adapting to living in cities to find food. In fact, it is becoming more and more common to see coyotes in big cities like New York and Los Angeles.These hunters are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and hunt at night. The coyote is also a prominent character in Native American folklore. Usually depicted as a trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions.
