***About Eastern Coyotes:

*** The Eastern coyote, a larger relative of the western species, is an adaptable and resilient creature found throughout Nova Scotia and much of eastern North America. Typically weighing between 30 to 50 pounds, these animals have a mixed heritage with both coyote and wolf ancestors, which contributes to their larger size and more varied coat colors. Eastern coyotes play a critical role in the ecosystem by managing populations of smaller mammals and rodents. Despite their often misunderstood nature, these animals are highly intelligent and have complex social structures similar to those of wolves, often involving close family units that help raise the young.
