This adaptability has allowed them to explore territories that traditionally would not be part of a coyote’s natural range. Their diet varies widely from natural prey like rodents and rabbits to fruits and sometimes human-provided food, contributing to their success in diverse habitats. Contrary to popular belief, these animals play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystems they inhabit by controlling rodent and small mammal populations.
