Coyote America by Dan Flores
A Natural and Supernatural History
A sweeping natural and cultural history that traces how a small, highly adaptable canid rose from a marginal interior species to become one of the most successful predators across North America, exploiting human disturbance and outwitting efforts to eradicate it. The narrative combines science, anecdotes, and historical sources to explain coyotes’ intelligence, social flexibility, varied diet, and surprising ability to hybridize and expand their range into cities, suburbs, and farmlands. It also examines the fraught human responses—myths, bounty hunts, poisoning campaigns, and legal protections—and argues that understanding coyotes’ ecological role and resilience offers lessons for coexistence in a rapidly changing continent.
