what really bothers me is the way we put wolves on a pedestal but treat coyotes like garbage. despite being closely related enough to frequently interbreed, wolves are regarded as noble, beautiful creatures while coyotes are trashy, dirty animals. coyotes have held on remarkably well despite the pressures we have put on them by destroying their habitats, they’re incredibly intelligent, and they’re equally as beautiful as wolves. i hate to do the whole “you can see the intelligence in their eyes!!” thing but you honestly can. i wish they got the appreciation they deserve
