Spring in Banff National Park. Meltwater in every nook and cranny swells the rivers and mountain lakes, so contributing to the circle of life.
Down in the dales and valleys, the coyotes appear, hunting for ground squirrels. The coyote is often mistaken for the wolf, another inhabitant of these parts.
But the coyote is at least a third smaller. Its behaviour is best characterised as a dog hunting like a cat. A solitary hunter, its prey consists primarily of small animals. They primarily hunt in pairs.
Coyotes, also referred to as barking dogs (Canis latrans, means "barking dog" in Latin) are primarily found near prairies. As man slowly wiped out the wolf, the coyote took its place. Coyotes are pure carnivores.
Nowadays the coyote can be found throughout North and Central America., from Alaska to Costa Rica and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
