The Coyote (C. latrans, also known as the "brush wolf" or "prairie wolf") is common throughout North America. From British Columbia to Prince Edward Island, the brush wolf ranges all the way south to Panama. It is thought that coyotes were originally limited to the American southwest but have proved to be very adaptable and have spread east into more-populated and even urban areas. Coyotes are said to even be living in New York City. Pronounced "KY-oat" and "ky-OAT-ee," the name "coyote" comes from a Nahuatl word, "coyotl" as it was called by the Aztecs.
