Coyotes Evolution

Coyotes or Canis latrans Coyotes are most commonly found in the desert and arid areas of the world, whether it was found in the desert, the tundra, or any other barren place of the world. Coyotes have evolved to this type of climate by decreasing need of calories, as the larger food is scarce. They have also evolved to be in a pack to help take down more significant food sources, like elk and deer. Coyotes, though they share DNA with many other animals have evolved to have a better insulating coat of fur to help with the cold nights, and also the wind and rain found in some desert climates. Coyotes and their ancestors alike have always been on the side of the food chain that hunts the grass eaters, and have always been near the top, but …show more content…
The coyote is no exception and has relationships with dog, cat, and wolves. Cynodicits were all the above common ancestors, being about the size of a standard house cat. Coyotes have grown by about a 15% increase, whereas some dogs have grown to about a 200% or more increase. Coyotes have developed some of the best eyesight found in their territory, and that is because their prey regularly blends in with the natural surroundings, such as but not limited to the Antelope Jackrabbit, which is found in the desert, and the Arctic Hare which is as the name states found in the Arctic. Both of these rabbits blend in almost perfectly with their territory, which makes it hard for them to hunt which is why the coyote has an excellent eyesight. The Coyotes also have good stamina and speed to help with the catching of prey. Coyotes also have developed a trait to help them with their environment and that trait is that they require several hundred less calories than another animal of their size. This skill helps them to survive because food and prey that they eat are sometimes extremely scarce. Coyotes have no issues with possible extinction lest it is by overpopulation first. They breed throughout the months of February and April, and after approximately two months, the coyote gives birth to between one and nineteen pups. Only 1 to 2 out of 5 survive though, and this is because sometimes the parents are …show more content…
This is to be able to birth live children, and also to be able to produce milk to feed them. Mammals also have hair or fur. “Coyotes are of the genus mammalia…” Coyotes are part of the family Carnivora, and that makes the need for sharp teeth and a digestive system that can digest large quantities of meat. This would help bring back coyotes as well, even though it includes lizards and fish, it would help bring back coyotes. Coyotes are part of the genus Canis which makes them have thick fur and walk on four legs. Quadpedulism, mixed with the other aspects mentioned above would bring back a relative at least near the modern
