The Cunning Coyote

Description
Episode Notes Coyotes are fantastic survivors that no matter how much people hate them (and boy do they hate them) they keep thriving. They are the ultimate flexitarian, can control their litter sizes, and just can't be stopped on their conquest to take over the world. We also dive into the problem of human-coyote conflict and how best to etch out a living alongside these awesome creatures. Thanks for listening to our exploration of why grasslands are the best biome. We'll see you next time! Primary Sources: Be sure to check out photos and more at our site!
