Author Dan Flores looks like a Coyote and he is excited to see this species thriving and spreading out all over the place. The nature and history writer brings about a book on Coyotes called " Coyote America" with a historical account of this animal and the amount of time ranchers and famers have tried in vain to eradicate from the scene. As Flores is poignant about the Coyote can adapt and have huge liters when this occurs and the Coyote were more solitary animals without the social pack identity of Wolves which made mass slaughter more easier.
Flores speaks much of the importance in nature of the Coyote to balance out the ecosystem and the niche they are now finding more luck and survivability in cities these days as opposed to the countryside where rural folks are free to trap and kill them without any witnesses. Since wild feral dogs have been erased as a daily fixture of urban cities through pest control through the years the wild coyotes have slowly expanded their range and some "smart' ones have easily adapted and evolved into urban scavengers with only one recorded grown human fatality in North American history. Flores also goes into detail of the American Indian deity and its deeply ingrained role in story telling of Native American culture. there could be a day soon the Coyote is as numerous as pet dogs in this country and this sends chills down the spines of Canadian Geese ,rats, rabbits, and field mice all across north America.
Flores though feels like Coyotes are all good and should be allowed to multiply and is against all human eradication efforts including those that seek to balance nature and prevent Coyotes from overwhelming all life forms small than itself if left unchecked. there are a lot of bad Coyotes out there and management efforts to curtail this species should be continued as Coyotes don't rule the lands and really is disgraceful to see ones in cities attacks wildlife right in front of homes and busty streets. Flores and ecologists like him dont want humans to manage the wildlife and play the role that supposedly Coyotes play in killing off all prey and their suppose smaller predator competition. This book is too pro-Coyote.
