Eastern Coyotes are a wild canid whose genetic make-up has been shown to be a combination of two species of wolves, western coyotes and domestic dogs. Throughout New England, with diverse yet diminishing habitats, and a growing human population, Eastern Coyotes or “Coywolves” still thrive and are evident to us in our yards and neighborhoods year-round. They are not well understood by most people and their presence may cause alarm and disdain among a large part of the population. Peter Trull been studying the daily habits and life history of the eastern coyote since 1989. His aim as researcher and educator is to offer an objective view of this wild canid, clarify the many misconceptions, and inform his audiences of this predator’s place in our world, and our place in the coyote’s world.
