Coyote America

Dan Flores traces the biological and cultural history of the coyote, moving from its deep evolutionary roots to its current status as a ubiquitous urban and suburban companion. The book frames the animal's expansion across North America as a mirror to American history, contrasting the coyote's resilience with the nation's own patterns of settlement and displacement. Flores blends natural history with cultural analysis, exploring how the coyote has shifted from a central figure in Native American mythology to a symbol of American adaptability and survival.
