Smaller, but strikingly similar to the gray wolf, coyotes are a canine that densely inhabit North and Central America. What coyotes lack in size and strength they make up for in adaptability, as they can survive in almost all types of environments – even urban ones!

History: A prominent figure in American and Native American folklore, coyotes are often depicted as clever tricksters in the same vein of foxes, despite the many differences between the two. However, current attitudes towards the coyote have become more negative as they've begun to densely inhabit and dwell in urban and suburban areas.

Scientific Name: Canis latrans

Characteristics: Detailed to match one of the most common fur colorations of coyotes, this professionally sculpted coyote toy figurine features the white belly, orange and black pelt, and bushy black-tipped tail that people think of when they imagine one of these elusive creatures. Its posture reflects its natural apprehension, as coyotes rarely engage creatures larger than themselves.

Size: This coyote toy figurine stands 3.75 inches tall and 6.5 inches long.
