This peaceful moment captures the delicate balance of wildness and tranquility in Nova Scotia's expansive landscapes. The picture not only highlights the natural beauty of the area but also offers a rare glimpse into the intimate life of one of North America's most adaptable canines. *** About Eastern Coyote: The Eastern Coyote (Canis latrans var.) is larger than its western counterparts, due to historical interbreeding with wolves, and has adapted to various North American environments. Found commonly in Nova Scotia, these coyotes play a critical role in the ecosystem by managing rodent and small mammal populations. Despite their wariness of humans, they occasionally venture near human settlements, sparked by curiosity and the search for food. Their ability to thrive in diverse habitats from dense forests to urban fringes showcases their incredible adaptability and resilience.
