Northeastern coyote


The Northeastern coyote is a subspecies of coyote native to north-central Saskatchewan, Manitoba, southern Ontario, and extreme southern Quebec. Its population in the United States occurs along the eastern edge of North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and northern Indiana. However, due to increased clearing of land for agriculture, the Northeastern coyote has expanded its range throughout the entire state of Indiana. It is similar to C. l. latrans, or larger, but darker in color, and has a broader skull.
