Excellent Book

For those who want to learn more about North America's most intelligent animal, the coyote, this is a renowned source. It is written for the average reader and you don't have to be a scientist to understand it. Coyotes have been unjustly maligned by the special interests of agriculture and hunters. However, these books are based on science and observation, not on myth and the pursuit of profit. I'd also highly recommend God's Dog by Hope Ryden God's Dog: A Celebration of the North American Coyote and Eastern Coyote by Gerry Parker Eastern Coyote as well as The Daily Coyote The Daily Coyote: A Story of Love, Survival, and Trust in the Wilds of Wyomingand Barbara Kingsolver's masterpiece of fiction, Prodigal Summer Prodigal Summer: A Novel.

The Voice of the Coyote, Second Edition

J. Frank Dobie is a wonderful non fiction writer. Everything he writes is new and vibrant even though it was first written in 1947. Amazing! Great book for Texans. Great book for anyone wanting to know all about our coyotes. Amazing animals. And they are only found in the Americas.

You'll love Coyotes after reading this book.

I really loved this book. I bought it because I was doing research on Coyotes for a novel I was writing, and I thought I would skim this, but I read it word for word instead. Perhaps because I already had an interest in coyotes, but I came home every night looking forward to reading more. If you love animals, you'll love this book. Well written, easy to ready, interesting stories, etc.
