REVIEW: Coyote America is a non-fiction book which focuses on the evolution, survival, and importance of the coyote (canis latrans) – which happens to be my favorite wild animal.
I found this book to be really fascinating. The first part of the book covers the Native American legends and scientific evolution of the coyote. The second part talks mainly about the attempts by American government (and ranchers) to destroy them, and the final section talks about coyote expansion into cities and how they are learning to co-habitate with humans.
The author seems to be very pro-coyote, which I definitely approve of.
This was a fascinating book to me and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about one of the Americas’ most fascinating indigenous animals.… (altro)
