The coyote's habitat can be anywhere. They are scavengers and hunters. They may live in forests, on the plains, or in deserts. As humans move into areas where they live, they are forced to find new places to live and hunt.
Coyotes now range from the middle of Alaska down to the south of Mexico. They live in Canada, parts of the United States, and Mexico. The map below shows their range before 1850 in green, and their range today in red.
