Coyote

The coyote is a dangerous animal, and it has been responsible for a few fatalities in the islands of
 eastern Canada (Nova Scotia).

There are three subspecies in California:the San Pedro Martir, Mountain, and the California Valley Coyote.

The San Pedro Martir Coyote lives mainly in San Diego County, but is occasionally seen in Imperial County.

The California Valley Coyote ranges from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the foothills of the Coast Mountains, the Siskyou Mountains in the north, and the San Jacinto Mountains in the south.

The Mountain Coyote is rare on the California-Nevada boarder.
