Your choices have pointed towards the Coyote as a possible phenotype. Here is some information about coyotoes. I encourage you to seek out other information about coyotes if this is infact your phenotype. The Coyote is a very adaptable creature which lives across the Northwest. Lore about coyotes is extensive. The coyote has always been considered as a creator, teacher, prankster and keeper of wisdom. A balance between folly and wisdom. The coyote reminds one not to be too serious and than anything is possible. The coyote is often seen as a pest by many people, but it has actually extended it's range in the Northwest. This is a tribute the coyotes' adaptive abilities and intelligence. The coyote is most active at night, to avoid hunters. Coyotes will co-operate to hunt. They use a system of relays to run down smaller prey. Coyotes will even team up with creatures such as badgers to hunt together. Another example of the coyotes' adaptive qualities. Coyotes, like wolves, have extreme significance in their howls.It is very expressive and can indicate loneliness, a danger warning, or a call for help.A coyote can live anywhere, although they tend to prefer a den on the side of a hill, preferably near a water source. Coyotes will work out of a den, rather then live in it. But they will return to the same den, sometimes year after year. Coyotes live in a close-knit family unit, sometimes mating for life. Both parents participate in the teaching of the cubs, and the male both participates in raising the cubs and in protecting the female while she's pregnant. If something every happens to the mother, the male will take over the care of the young. |
