I only know of one other book on Eastern "Coyote" or Coywolf so it was interesting to learn more about him. I gave it four stars instead of five because there was a lot of the heartbreak you have to deal with whenever Coyote or Wolf is involved from all the torturous and senseless murders committed against untold numbers of them by heartless hicks and that's hard to read about, even when you know it's coming. I would liked to have had more info on how he's different from pure ( Western ) Coyote and also it was mentioned that there was genetic sampling done, but the results weren't given and I thought that would have been interesting to see how much Wolf DNA was in the mix and the varying degrees of it among individuals and populations.

This is a great book to learn more about coyotes and our interaction with them. We just started seeing coyotes at our Cape Cod house in 2019. I was very happy to find this book written by an expert who has studied coyotes on Cape Cod. Coyotes are often misunderstood as being dangerous to humans. Jonathan explains everything you need to know about coyotes including why they should be treated more humanely than they often are. His retelling of how he raised and lived with 5 coyote pups was especially endearing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the wildlife we live with.

Hundreds of thousands of these amazing animals are slaughtered in the USA every year. Many are simply shot, poisoned, or trapped in an inhumane manner and just left to suffer and die. Human beings, you can't live with them and they won't go away.

Enjoyable book if you are into biology and ecology of dogs, wolfs, coyotes etc. Lots of revealing info on habitat, reproduction and laws regarding trapping & killing.
