How do coyotes communicate?
Coyotes yap, bark, wail, and howl at night to announce their presence. They can vary their pitch to make their groups sound much larger.
Los coyotes gañen, ladran, gimen y aúllan durante la noche para anunciar su presencia. Pueden cambiar el tono para que sus grupos suenen mucho más numerosos.
With a variable diet, coyotes can make a home in nearly any habitat. When humans push out larger predators like wolves and mountain lions, coyotes move in. In the past century, they've spread through most of North America, including NYC.
Gracias a su dieta variable, los coyotes pueden asentarse en casi cualquier hábitat. Cuando los humanos expulsan a predadores más grandes, como los lobos y los pumas, los coyotes se instalan.
