Coyotes
and Foxes
Coyotes
are related to Jackals and wolves. Like most dogs, the female is pregnant
for nine weeks before giving birth to about five pups! Coyotes are also
called "brush wolves". The largest coyote would be as big as the smallest
wolf! Coyotes are usually smaller than wolves and have longer ears but
a smaller muzzle. When a coyote grows, he usually leaves his parents. So
coyotes don't live in social groups.
Wile E. Coyote, GENIUS
Few animals are as adaptable
as the red fox. This fox eats almost anything. In the city dumps he would
go and sniff in garbage cans and rubbish heaps.
The
crab-eating fox, is also a common one. It comes from South America. It
eats many kinds of food including crabs. Other crab-eating foxes live in
wood and grasslands and have never seen a crab.
