Re: [VFB] Re: Coyotes in Rhode Island ???? Exactly to how many states they've expanded to in the US I'm not certain, because I haen't checked the past few years. But they are extremely adaptable.
Distribution: Widely distributed throughout all of the United States and all of southern and south-central Canada, south through Mexico into northern Central America. Northward expansion of coyotes may be the result of wolf removal, as their range is expanding in areas where wolves have been eliminated for more than a century.
Habitat: Wherever suitable prey exists, from tundra to grassland to forest to city (e.g. large populations found in Los Angeles, California). Established coyotes exclude fox, but are excluded by established wolves (Berg, pers. comm.).
Population and Status: Large and increasing despite control efforts and unprotected status in most areas. No threat to the species as a whole.
