Scavengers: Eating Nature''s Trash

Coyotes are one of the most successful animals in North America. They can live almost anywhere and eat almost anything. This adaptability allows them to survive, despite encroaching human development or environmental and climatic changes. Opportunistic and omnivorous, coyotes will eat berries, bugs, snails, small mammals, and are more than happy to dig into another animal’s rotting remains. Readers will learn about the many ways coyotes hunt as well as the ways they communicate. Coyotes are not only a vital part of their ecosystem, but they are fascinating members of the scavenger family.
