Description

An eye-opening volume of research and photographs exploring one of North America’s most persistent—and misunderstood—predators. 

The coyote. Even its image conjures up more myth than fact. From its depictions as the “trickster” in ancient fables to its portrayal as a threat to humans and their pets in modern news sources, coyotes are rarely shown in a favorable light. Now, the Urban Coyote Research Project pulls back the curtain on the defamed coyote, revealing the surprising truth about this unique creature.  

Though harassed and hunted for generations, today the coyote persists and even thrives. With an innate ability to adjust to new climates and environments, the coyote has developed an expansive range. Once confined to the American West, it now lives in forty-nine states, across lower Canada, throughout Mexico, and all the way to Costa Rica. Its habitat ranges from rural prairie to urban overpasses; it is the largest animal to regularly live wild within city limits. The coyote continues to overcome the ceaseless intrusion of urban development to create a bright and flourishing future, providing its human neighbors a surprising number of benefits. 

With stunning images of coyotes within their surprising habitats, Coyotes Among Us draws from decades of experience to dispel coyote myths, highlight the benefits of living with coyotes, and embrace the coyote as a brilliant survivor against all odds.

This was very interesting for me, especially as I live in the UK and the chances of seeing Coyotes are quite slim. But this gave me more insight into these beautiful creatures, fantastic photographs and information overall.

This lovely book has stunning pictures of coyotes in the Chicago area and enjoyable, educational text from the head of a project that's researched coyotes for over 20 years. It gives wonderful insight into these lovely, much-maligned creatures.
