So far, this is a great, blended story of cross-cultural myth, field biology, and American history. I’ve taken notes on everything from Teddy Roosevelt to incredible animal adaptations. Humans and coyotes bear some striking similarities as species. Here’s part of the official description: “Despite campaigns of annihilation employing poisons, gases, helicopters, and engineered epidemics, coyotes didn’t just survive, they thrived, expanding across the continent from Anchorage, Alaska, to New York’s Central Park. … An illuminating biography of this extraordinary animal, Coyote America isn’t just the story of an animal’s survival; it is one of the great epics of our time.”

Legends don't come close to capturing the incredible story of the coyote. In the face of centuries of campaigns of annihilation employing gases, helicopters, and engineered epidemics, coyotes didn't just survive, they thrived, expanding across the continent from Alaska to New York. In the war between humans and coyotes, coyotes have won, hands-down. Coyote America is the illuminating five-million-year biography of this extraordinary animal, from its origins to its apotheosis. It is one of the great epics of our time.
