Welcome to another new feature, Mammal of the Week. This week it is the coyote. A solitary predator, the coyote has filtered into our state. It is an opportunistic feeder, meaning it will kill small rodents, reptiles, and birds if it can but it will also go through the trash you set out. Also, be wary of your smaller pets if coyotes are known to be in your area, they are not overly aggressive, but to them, your small pet may look a lot like their next meal. They have been known to interbreed with dogs, resulting in what is known as "coy-dogs."
