However, it used to only populate the western part of the continent, whereas presently, coyotes can be found throughout the United States and Canada. Unlike other species, the coyote is not endangered whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite is true. The coyote is thriving because of how well it can adapt and because of how intelligent and flexible it is (Patrick, 1999).
