The coyote has erect, pointed ears; a long snout; and green, wolflike eyes. Coyotes are most active at night, when they emit their characteristic sharp barks and prolonged howls; they are also active at dawn and dusk. Despite being extensively hunted, the coyote is one of the few medium-to-large-sized animals that has enlarged its territory since human encroachment began. Usually, they hunt singly or in relays with others rather than in packs.
