How The Coyote Became Top Dog (Wildlife Documentary) | Natural Kingdom | Real Wild

[Music] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] according to the legends of north america's first nations people when humans began to walk the earth it was the coyote who taught them how to survive then european settlers moved in and transformed the continent many wild animals were driven into extinction but coyotes thrived today scientists consider them an evolutionary marvel an animal of a thousand faces capable of adapting to a thousand different ecosystems now new studies are revealing the coyotes astonishing secrets of survival what are those secrets well it depends on where the coyotes are they seem to change every place they go and along the way they've created a new legend as a modern day shapeshifter coyotes can be found almost everywhere in north america in the last 100 years they followed roads and railways from remote wilderness through urban jungles all the way to the atlantic ocean a new predator hadn't been introduced into eastern north america for over a century before the coyote arrived and from here all the way back to the pacific coast there may be 20 million of them no one really knows now especially in rural areas like canada's prince edward island nerves are on edge make some modern day words you call it stress yeah stressing everybody animals included it shows on your lambs especially takes lambs up two months longer to go to market from the coyotes point of view humans are generous creatures they thoughtfully cleared out the wolves cultivated fields to wander through and provided plenty of high-protein food to help coyote pups grow big and strong humans however don't see it quite that way normally you would check them once a week probably just to make sure that there is no sickness or any problems developed but with them around it's it's a daily thing losing several calves a year to coyotes has outraged farmers like elmer larson just this past spring now we had a cow head twins when we come down she was there with one calf the other calf was there but the whole side tore off it and then all the front shoulder and all everything tore apart on it you see them things tearing young animals apart oh i tell you it's a it's a sorry sight [Music] if i seen him in the field i would shoot him and ask questions after i think the only response is complete eradication and as soon as possible it's a popular sentiment humans kill about 400 000 coyotes every year but wildlife experts have found that the population has only grown larger [Music] the idea of trying to eliminate coyotes has been tried for in excess of 100 years they've been poisoned trapped shot shot from aircraft they have tried everything to get rid of them they're virtually impossible to eliminate no other animal has ever survived such a massive attempt to wipe them out how do they do it what is it that makes coyotes so unique in the 21st century north america is coyote country all of it every backyard city park vacant sidewalk and alleyway on the continent has is or will be part of the coyotes territory there seems to be no escape coyotes may be wild animals but they've clearly found a hole in every corner of the human world now urban wildlife experts are in a hurry to find out why coyotes adapt so well to so many different environments what's interesting about coyotes in the city is they're not here because habitat elsewhere has been removed they're here because we've created habitat for them [Music] the animal is very adaptable very intelligent and very opportunistic and they recognize a good thing when they see it urban coyotes are just like smart supermarket shoppers always on the hunt for a good bargain coyotes will try anything to learn if it's edible and the city's bargain bin banquet always has something tasty to offer across the continent coyote populations are expanding dramatically there's food everywhere and now from the wilderness to both rural and urban environments everybody it seems has got a story to tell about coyotes the shapeshifter of the modern world raises ancient primal fears it's more than scattered garbage in a few lost cats coyotes are thriving in the face of a systematic campaign from coast to coast to get rid of them so far their incredible skills of survival have confounded us all the lamar valley in yellowstone national park is the last best place to experience the ancient wild spirit of north america it's a high country eden the world's greatest place to observe wildlife it's also the evolutionary birthplace of coyotes in this primordial protected western wilderness lie many of the secrets of the coyotes modern day success scientists have been studying lamar valley's coyotes for decades the valley is a gigantic outdoor laboratory here a new biological profile of coyotes is emerging hidden among the continent's oldest survivors dr bob crabtree has been observing coyotes here for the past 13 years the world's longest ongoing study of coyotes in the wild there was an extra one this morning bob and his research team are searching for a coyote site the bread and the fish work over there kind of maybe below the ridge rear and kind of be looking down in these terraces nine pups are up somewhere behind the hill yeah up over the ranger hill that we call right up to the left and then over the top yeah and we know she had nine at least nine so i'll be surprised if they're all still here but she's a pretty impressive female maybe she's still got nine alive [Applause] i can see we're gonna get our feet wet today bob crabtree hopes that by studying how coyote families behave in the wild he might find answers to why they survive so well outside the park in the human world there's some pretty intense management to exclude coyotes to lessen the amount of livestock that are killed it's just it's very difficult to achieve those goals in fact in most cases humans fail at eradicating coyotes that's like a football game and the score is coyotes 63 humans three it's very few instances where humans can even score a success [Music] the planes of the lamar valley are filled with ancient species like the pronghorn north america's fastest animal from these hills it's easy to watch wildlife in the valley below this is one of the last wild places where the habitat can still support all the animals that were here when columbus set foot on the continent over 500 years ago [Music] the last free roaming planes bison find refuge here remnants of a herd that once numbered 60 million for their part coyotes have been here for almost 3 million years unique to north america they're the continent's oldest indigenous species grizzly bears wander through the valley in the spring relaxed and content in this protected area these powerful predators can barely survive outside the park but it doesn't make them any less intimidating bob crabtree has found that coyotes are quite different from all the other animals in the park they can survive anywhere as long as they can find what they need within a coyote system it takes two things to directly pass on your genes to your offspring that is reproducing you gotta have a mate alpha male and female pair bond then you have to have a territory that's defended to keep other coyotes out so there's lots of competition for space because with space comes good food good density and the ability to attract a mate and successfully have pups that survive smaller than a wolf the coyote's size is another key to their adaptability they can take down a young pronghorn or survive on insects ground squirrels are the coyotes main food in yellowstone it takes several to make a meal but the fields are crawling with them [Music] while the alpha female is off raising the pups the alpha male defends his family's territory by making sure other coyotes keep their distance in the lamar valley all creatures large or small have claimed their own little piece of [Music] eden coyotes have a complex fluid social structure much like wolves the alphas mate for life but when the pups grow up they usually move on to start their own families [Music] in a coyote's territory bob crabtree knows to be careful if the alpha female gets nervous she'll move the den immediately to ensure that the young pups remain hidden and safe coyotes are extremely cunning animals if an alpha male knows he's being watched he'll purposely walk away from the den and if these scientists fall for the trick they might also see their research grants disappear over the next hill from past experience bob crabtree knows that coyotes long considered tricksters by first nation peoples do have a sense of humor and when it comes to humans a unique sense of coyote justice one particular alpha male i'll never forget i was really out to trap him i had caught his mate a female in a trap and that alpha male tried to pull that female out of the trap which is a fairly high level of reasoning and i remember the next trapping season i became very adept at digging up my traps and in one case actually dug up a trap flipped it over didn't set it off and defecated on top of the trap looking for a coyote den has gotten a lot harder in recent years female coyotes are more on edge constantly moving their den sites at night and there's a good reason the coyotes arch enemy the wolf is back in the lamar valley in 1995 gray wolves were reintroduced to yellowstone after an absence of almost a century and they immediately began killing coyotes eden's laboratory suddenly became a wild battlefield again [Music] to survive coyotes quickly adopted new tricks becoming more unpredictable and always on the lookout almost overnight coyotes became animals forged in a war in a new world eden an epic natural drama is unfolding it's a struggle for survival another battle in an ancient war reignited by a predator's return after an absence lasting most of the 20th century reintroduced gray wolves have had a dramatic impact on the animals of yellowstone's lamar valley there are now 165 walls in the park with some packs numbering as many as 37 walls bob crabtree has observed the wolves return from the beginning gathering in large packs they can take on the most powerful bulls in a herd of bison it's a classic western showdown a game played for keeps and watched by these researchers many times in recent years while the standoff often becomes a stalemate wolves have quickly re-established themselves at the top of the lamar valley food chain [Music] human hunters eliminated wolves from yellowstone almost a century ago now that they're back wolves have gone to war against the coyotes that occupied this territory while they were gone the wolves are merciless killing but not eating most of the coyotes they encounter oh you're breaking up dan if you want to reorient try again evidence suggests that there is competition between wolves and coyotes but the the amount of uh mortality of wolves on coyotes is a bit surprising we didn't think the potential for competition would be as great as it appears to be [Music] [Applause] the return of gray wolves here halfway through bob crabtree's 13-year coyote study has become the perfect opportunity to study how coyotes are capable of surviving so well under extreme pressure but the world's return has not been a complete disaster for the coyotes grazing animals killed by wolves are a rich and easy source of food once the pack has eaten their fill and moved on problem is there's often a long lineup for the leftovers grizzly bears also have a taste for the carcass of an adult pronghorn and for this mother and cub it's an opportunity to combine meal time and play time for the quick and stealthy coyote wolf territory is the deadliest gourmet restaurant on earth the grizzlies are more relaxed for them wolf kills are like takeout they can eat quickly and then move on through the valley finally it's the coyotes turn and even now the kill is a fat reward equal to gorging on several hundred ground squirrels all alone but still nervous this coyote has learned that being fast bold and cautious is the only way to survive alongside the wolves well there's a lot of incentive for them to sneak into these wolf kills and if they're not killed they win and produce more pups but you can imagine in the center part of a wolf territory where the wolves are spending all their time the mortality rates are high in fact in those cases there's been an 80 reduction in coyote numbers living with wolves is a stressful lifestyle for most of the lamar valley's wild creatures [Music] no longer top dog the coyote gets more than its fair share of the blame [Music] but it's a stressful life for the coyotes too they need to keep a safe distance from the wolf packs but they also want to remain as close as they can to rich and very dependable sources of food deliberately tempting death has made them more cunning and extremely adaptable researchers have found that it's also made coyotes more prolific breeding alphas are killed constantly forcing coyotes to reproduce at a rapid rate but with more food more pups will survive to adulthood coyotes seem to have evolved a specialized set of population tools to compensate and rebound very rapidly in fact it almost seems to be that they they do better in a state of flux they've evolved to this constant mortality factor we're really out to find this bin but that's such a big open area that they'll rarely see in but the chance of them seeing one of these two adults crossing the road is really pretty darn good in the next two weeks just like this morning yeah there's going to be more interactions and searching for the recently moved den site the researchers are hoping to observe one of the elusive adult coyotes returned to feed the pups before we go up there if wills are killing a third of them every year think about the surviving individuals and how much smarter they are and all over you know tens of thousands of years all the different behavioral strategies coyotes are going to pick up and how much selection pressure there is to weed out the not so smart and to create what some folks have called nervous super coyote and these new super coyotes have powerful survival skills they're flexible in their habits move up or down the food chain and breed rapidly when under attack how are you doing over there molly it has a great strategy to exist in wartime conditions with the wolf exploiting it so when humans come in and kill half the coyotes they've got an evolutionary bag of tools and tricks ready to use to survive and reproduce the ancient war with wolves transformed coyotes into nature's most adaptable species but outside the protection of parks humans killed off almost all of north america's wolves allowing the cunning coyote to move right in today the war of survival continues except now the battlefield is an entire continent and coyotes are turning up in the most unlikely places since the early 1980s the small eastern canadian province of prince edward island has had a growing problem on its hands after a 4 000 kilometer journey from yellowstone through vast forests fields and cities to the atlantic coast it's believed coyotes crossed a frozen ocean channel to reach this quiet island of fishermen and farmers how quiet was prince edward island before coyotes arrived so quiet it said that someone once called the wildlife nuisance hotline to complain about a problem trout for coyotes compared to lamar valley living here is like winning a lottery with no wolves plenty to eat and even more places to hide coyotes are transforming the island the red fox was the first to be dramatically affected foxes used to be a rare sight here keeping their dens well hidden deep in the forest but coyotes quickly took over the best den sites and pushed the smaller foxes out of their preferred habitat now for safety the island's foxes live right beside humans [Music] on prince edward island coyotes live in the forest and raid farms mostly from ice but they'll also eat calves pigs sheep dogs chickens geese even apples and the island's famous potato crop farmers like elmer larson are getting tired of feeding these gum on coyotes he loses money every time he loses the calf some farmers claim to have lost 10 percent of their newborns but so far no one can agree on how to solve the problem i tried through the federation of agriculture which i was a member of at the time for her to have them apply a bounty when they first discovered them and see that they were they were wiped out and never allow them to build up but these these biologists oh i was clean out of my head to talk about something like that that they'll find their own level and control themselves of their own levels is when there's they control themselves when there's nothing left to eat no one knows how many coyotes live on the island but researcher sarah field hopes to find out she's radio coloring coyotes as part of the first field study of this population if we use a spot right here it'll kind of act as a back with the firms coyotes will pick up on the fact that there's been fresh dirt turned over and they'll know that something's on the go tracking the coyotes movements with radio collars will help determine their densities on the island but she has to catch them first with pain-free traps the coyote is really the first predator on the island that could actually pose a threat to livestock producers we used to have wolves but they were eradicated long before any of the farmers here would have kind of developed their techniques we did have black bears as well but again they were exterminated across north america study after study has found that attempts to exterminate coyotes is very expensive and practically impossible on prince edward island it was decided not to put a bounty on coyotes now no one knows what to do next sheep farmer carol macleod has the island's largest sheep farm keeping her land from being slaughtered has become a lot harder since coyotes arrived sheep are fairly easy for a coyote to get if they get into the flock sheep don't have a natural protective mechanism they kind of stand around and stamp their feet which doesn't scare too many animals so it's pretty easy prey for the coyotes for thousands of years humans have bred sheep to be slow and plump for an animal with the survival instincts of a coyote sheep are evolution's way of gift wrapping a free lunch we had just done a 50-day wait it's something we do to predict how well the mothers are doing at raising their young and we had just done that a few days before and the coyote actually picked out the biggest best healthiest lamb in the lot which was amazing some farmers have decided to shoot coyotes on site but carol mcleod believes her best defense is an electric fence if you can't kill them off at least keep them out the coyotes nature is to go up and sniff the fence and go under something rather than jumping over it we concentrate more on getting those low wires the right distance it has to be only five inches from the ground and the ground isn't even all the way or along so we have to have a lot of posts and spacers to make sure it's just five inches with its farmers under siege research into the island's elusive coyote population is slowly catching up sarah field thinks there may be four times as many coyotes here than the current best estimates and from the ones she's colored so far she also believes these eastern coyotes are growing larger but what's really happening on the edge of these farmlands all sarah knows for sure is that the coyote population is growing what i'm finding so far is that they're having a much smaller home range as well as possibly traveling and family groups so the chances are is that the capacity of the island to haul coyotes is much larger than just a thousand [Music] in eastern north america the shape shifter is changing in unexpected ways scientists are baffled forcing farmers like lomar macdonald to become instant coyote experts in order to protect their livestock and livelihood lohmer's got his own ideas on dealing with coyotes and a unique solution as long as they don't bother me and as long as they don't start stealing any of my cattle they're my friend but when they start that they're my enemy and god help them [Music] that their little hole that's right up on top there that's where we uh we set the camera up there got a little platform inside and the camera sits up there and then it faces down in that opening towards the woods i got a light set up down there in the top of the trees and it lights it up coyotes are most active at night and so lomar set up a surveillance camera put out some meat as bait and presto homegrown reality tv coverage of the animal everyone's worried about [Music] i want to see how many we really had around here you know and and i figured it was a good way of [Music] finding out how many was here and how close to come to the buildings if it's a good moonlight night lots of food down there they come between 2 and 2 30 in the morning and that's that's near every night eat practically near anything that they that's eatable lomar's surveillance camera has yielded some important information if a coyote pack is fed they won't eat cattle the amount of electrical fencing required to fence in a cattle herd would bankrupt most farmers so loma's solution is simple if you can't beat them why not feed them the cows will walk right down past the coyotes and the coyotes will just move away like you know they let the let the cows walk through [Music] we can go down to the butcher shop and get a bunch of stuff put it out behind the barn they feed themselves and they'll not hurt the animals as long as they're getting paid everything's got to get fed you know since i started baiting them and putting food out for them i've never lost a cow or anything so i i find it's a lot cheaper to feed them than it is for them to feed themselves as coyote populations expand and adapt rapidly to new territories local solutions may not work for long across north america coyotes are getting bolder [Music] five thousand kilometers due west of prince edward island the city of vancouver on canada's pacific coast is an urban jungle on the edge of the western world coyotes arrived here about 20 years ago and now vancouver has its own growing problem wildlife biologist christine lampa has watched coyotes adapt quickly to the big city they're cautious and elusive hiding their dens well in the thick underbrush of places like stanley park in the city's downtown core close to people but out of sight it's surprising that coyotes use this part of the park considering it's right under the lion's gate bridge but maybe not maybe that's why they're using it people don't frequent this area of the park as much as other areas and so it's a bit of a refuge inside of a refuge here for them there's lots of understory for them to hide in so we may even be being watched by a coyote right now as we're walking along coyotes have learned that this lush urban rainforest is an ideal place to hunt new food sources and new territories here are right for the taking now the local wildlife population has a new dominant player if raccoons aren't pleased there's not much they can do about it except stay out of harm's way in recent years coyotes have gotten even bolder they've slipped out of the forest into the city's open spaces today coyotes can be found in backyards back alleys and even the back nine on the golf course it may not look like home but any open green space is a luxury curious coyotes will try anything to see if it's edible after all survival in the city is all about being open to change eggs that fall from the sky seem very tempting if not exactly nourishing and for at least one lucky human the gods of golf have devised a new and painless way to escape the sand trap outside the golf course the urban world is a much tougher place cars and trains take a heavy toll but coyotes survive by seizing opportunities they've adapted well to the fast-paced eat-and-run style of the city and will dine on whatever is readily available vancouver's urban wildlife managers have witnessed rapid changes in the coyote population coyotes have become increasingly bold and brazen i've actually had some people whose dogs small dogs were attacked while they were on leash another of evolution's gift-wrapped packages small dogs are a dietary delicacy to the coyote and in high demand within the pack but there may be more than just food on the line in yellowstone gray wolves kill coyotes and dogs are domesticated descendants of wolves perhaps in vancouver coyotes are simply getting their revenge after all it's a dog-eat-dog world [Music] in the case of larger dogs stories are legend about how one coyote will lure them to the larger group to try and attack a larger animal it happens quite regularly it is a matter of some concern i mean we have started programs in the city of vancouver to advise and to warn people about proper care and you know the appropriate care for their pets coyotes have now captured the city's attention when wildlife get out of hand dennis pemble is called in to deal with the problem right in the city we get deer we've had bears and we've had cougars they're quite rare have problems with them but they do happen but our main problem is the coyote we've had people actually bitten in vanier park right nearby here a little girl was bitten um and people were chased into the houses and kai was very very aggressive and that went on for actually quite a while before we decided we had to remove that coyote six-year-old kayla hansen was walking right here behind her father when she encountered a coyote what is it this way right where he came out hey yeah i already was sleeping right there and he started chasing me where were you i was right here my friend was behind me were you playing together no you're just walking up the stairs yeah well what happened with the car he left out and did he bite you yeah he just named my dress first and what what did he do did he check my dress i tried to get him off many but now we have two [Music] so i don't know [Music] the big city is a thin veil stretched over a living wildly evolving earth nature can be held back the coyote's success proves it can't be controlled vancouver is in a state of alarm where do coyotes fit in the urban world it seems to me that coyotes are sort of at that cusp of the larger mammal species that could live in a city with some sort of tension and you know a problem set that goes with that but they could exist here in a nervous harmony and i think coyotes are teaching us things maybe things we don't necessarily want to learn yet the coyotes in your face attitude is challenging humans to respond what can be done the easy answer is to eliminate them as soon and as fast as possible but it's been proven time and again that extermination simply doesn't work the shapeshifter always returns and stronger every time is there another way the time is running out for answers most wild animals try to stay away from the human world but not coyotes they've proven to be fearless and adapted to the modern landscape quite well it's an astonishing story of transformation that took less than 100 years and it's not over yet in prince edward island coyotes seem to be growing larger as if they're sneaking animal steroids on the sly biologists randy dibbley and sarah field are trying to find out how and why these coyotes are changing the red phase a bit more common in the maritimes you'll see it but these black ones are a little bit rarer but again uh we were talking about this earlier about the the size that the eastern coyote has it's more typical of what you'd find in bulbs this one here is kind of kind of neat because i had a dog that almost resembled this whole color pattern [Music] sarah field has sent eastern coyote tissue samples to geneticist dr brad white at ontario's trent university here brad and his assistant aria johnson are studying the genetic relationships between coyotes and wolves coyotes almost never breed with dogs or the larger gray wolves of yellowstone park the dna extracted from eastern coyote samples has proven that they indeed carry the wolf gene how it got there has only one possible explanation female coyotes are breeding with the smaller forest-dwelling eastern wolf and in the process a new gene has been introduced into the coyote population now evidence in both the field and the laboratory suggests that the eastern coyote is evolving rapidly into an animal just as adaptable and cunning as any coyote but only larger just like a wolf it's a surprising new scientific discovery here we've got a very interesting mix which we call the canis soup and the canis soup really has been formed by this hybridization between the original western coyote the eastern wolf and now the um gray wolf to to the north and so there isn't sort of a discrete species barrier the way we like to think of species but i do think we are witnessing the creation of the most successful top end predator in landscapes that have been impacted by humans [Music] the so-called super coyotes of yellowstone were forged in a war with wolves now in eastern north america they're making another startling evolutionary leap by turning into cunning adaptable wolves soon enough there'll be a genetic wonder dog sitting on top of the natural world's food chain for many years to come prince edward island researchers are observing the changes that support this new discovery typically in a wolf pack you'll have an actual a dominance hierarchy where you'll have an alpha male and an alpha female and it'll only be those two that actually reproduce what we're seeing in the island population of coyotes is we're seeing a form of dominance hierarchy similar to that of a wolf pack but although these coyotes may look like wolves field evidence suggests that most of them still prefer to eat mice or rats and so far only a small number actually hunt farm animals these may be the problem coyotes that we want to address more so than coyotes as a whole if you have a good coyote in your area it's just as well to keep it not trying to get rid of it [Music] on the opposite side of the continent vancouver's coyote problem is also reaching a crisis point the urban coyotes here are the smaller western subspecies but there's so many of them they're causing a path traumatized pet owners have lost cats and dogs and several children have been bitten something has to be done but what coyotes are hard to trap and even harder to shoot local biologists have learned that human biting coyotes always turn out to be human fed coyotes [Music] and so the answer might be to simply scare the animals away encouraging people to actively discourage them when they see them so that really means they're in your yard turn on the hose throw pots and pans at them hurl a pinecone use a water gun like there's all these kind of zany sounding ways of scaring them off what they need to do is see different things that scare them they think god these people they are so unpredictable i'm going to stay clear and that's that's the response we want [Music] but sometimes a coyote's own curiosity can get it into serious trouble the big city is a lot more dangerous than a few hurled pine cones for this scared young pup its life and death struggle seems to be over but some humans like these animal rescue officers are a kinder gentler breed [Applause] we're doing a booming business we're averaging about 40 admissions a day wow yeah it's this coyote's lucky day she'll survive but the mortality rate in the urban jungle is high and over 50 of coyote pups won't reach adulthood for her size even um it's not unusual for her to even get nailed by an eagle or something like that so when they're even a predator has predators so especially puppies size like this once they're strong enough to survive rescued coyote pups are released outside the city it's all part of the evolving live and let live relationship between coyotes and humans [Music] if they can't be eliminated coexisting with coyotes rather than killing them seems to be the best long-term strategy it could be the shapeshifter's best survival trick of all forcing humans to adapt to them [Music] there's an old first nation legend that says coyote invented death to make living creatures take life more seriously but the plan backfired when its own pups died overcome by grief coyote set out to get revenge on death by becoming the ultimate survivor legend or not coyotes are the 21st century's most successful species not because they're the fastest the strongest or have the biggest teeth coyotes survive because they can adapt to a changing world better than any other animal on the continent [Music] i don't think it's her back in the lamar valley bob crabtree is still searching for his elusive coyote den it's not easy to find a dam that's been hidden from wolves but after years of observation he's developed a keen coyote spotting eye oh i see what you're talking about oh i got her she's going up the hill yeah okay look across the creek going up the hill there's a gallon right i got her guys across the creek okay across the creek going up the hillside and all the uh balsamic root all right she's gonna go down good good 949 sheldon we got her [Music] only weeks old these young pups are completely dependent on their parents it's exciting to find them at last obviously she's got a safe den up there it's worked [Music] for up to a year the vulnerable pups will stay close to their parents learning for the most part how to live beside the wolves once they're fully grown and well equipped with powerful survival skills they'll be able to adapt to a changing world inside and outside the park a lot of wildlife conservation issues deal with declining or rare species and here you have a coyote that is not rare or declining in fact it's increased its distribution and it's a very successful critter in the face of high mortality rates i think as wildlife conservationists we ought to look at some of these ubiquitous successful species and maybe there's some lessons we can learn from them that we can apply to some of these rare and declining species [Music] in our world the coyotes incredible success is almost impossible to comprehend they've achieved what no other animal has ever been able to do live side by side with humans in virtually every corner of north america today coyotes go where they please and wherever they go they leave a trail of amazing stories the shape shifter is nature's wandering wild spirit and for those who haven't seen it there's no need to worry the coyote is on its way you
