The coyote Canis latrans is a species of canine native to North America. Humans are the coyote`s greatest threat, followed by cougars and gray wolves. The coyote is a prominent character in Native American folklore, mainly in Aridoamerica, usually depicted as a trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions.
