Whilst red wolves and coyotes have similar features, they are not of the same species; however they do share a common ancestor.

Trickster Tales and Great Myths are told differently and that is due to people's religion, culture and nationality. In the tale “The Coyote and the Buffalo” by Mourning Dove is about a sly coyote helps the buffalo who tries to kill him but since the buffalo has to set the score with a fellow buffalo and the coyote sees an opportunity during the process, this tale has been told various times in the authors tribe and wanted it to live on in the present and future. In “The World on the Turtle’s Back” a wife also sees an opportunity due to pregnancy, and leads her to a dangerous path in the end. Even though these two stories fall into a different category, they do have similar main characters. For example, Coyote was cunning and knew how to

Coyote mostly plays the role of trickster, although in some stories he is a fool and the butt of jokes and in a few is outright evil. His personality traits are usually greed, recklessness, impulsiveness and jealousy. Coyote is often the antagonist of his brother Wolf, who is wise and good natured but prone to giving in to Coyote's incessant demands. Coyote is also prominent in several creation myths, such as King's story. Coyote is also commonly a character in "just-so stories", in which he unsuccessfully tries to hunt prey or compete with other predators. In the process phenomena such as why rabbits have long ears are explained. In many North American Native mythologies, the coyote spirit stole fire from the gods (or stars or sun) and is more of a trickster than a culture hero. Coyote does play the role of a culture hero in some stories.

A new genetic observation suggests that red eastern wolves are not true in the "species" of wolves. Scientist say that red wolves are a mix of gray wolves and coyotes. Researchers compared the genome of 23 wild canines in the USA to pure coyotes and Eurasian wolves. This led to them figuring out how much of the animals genetic material came from coyotes or wolves.Red wolves have about 75 percent coyote genes and just 25 percent wolf genes. The new data mean that both red and eastern wolves have mated with coyotes in the past. Gray wolves also have some genes of the coyote. And eastern wolves and red wolves are just as closely related to gray wolves as they are to other animals of their species. That suggests these wolf groups are more related

‘Coyotes’ (Conover. T. 1987) was written in the hopes that it would help better understand the impact that illegal immigration had on the two societies, American and Mexican, and since Conover is an American citizen, and was at the

I think tricksters are essential to any world belief system. Human beings work so hard at figuring out the rules of the physical and spiritual world! We create language, governance, religion, music, art … and they all come with rules and rituals, regulations, do’s and don’ts. The problem comes when we make our lives so safe, so predictable, that we lose our ability to innovate, to meet new challenges, to deal with the unexpected or tragic. A trickster like Coyote is the crazy, creative, inventive energy that gets us out of that rut and comes up with solutions that our rules won’t allow us to see.

In the excerpt from The Crossing, by Cormac McCarthy, the narrator illustrates the actions of a man who is carrying a dead wolf. Throughout the passage, the point-of-view shifts to reveal the emotional impact that the wolf’s death has on the man. The religious imagery intensifies the impact of the wolf’s death and forces the man to confront the idea of life. At first, the narrator focuses on the man’s action, characterizing the man by his actions rather than by his thoughts or observations. There are many run-on sentences to constantly describe his motions as he sets up camp.

WHAT: The reintroduction of wolves in 1995 has significantly decreased the coyote and fox populations, although those who remain often scavenge from wolf kills. Yellowstone's coyotes are among the largest coyotes in the United States; adults average about 14 kg and some can weigh up to 20 kg. These intelligent canines primarily eat voles, mice, rabbits, other small animals. They will commonly feed on carrion and only when in packs, hunt young elk calves in the spring. In the Lamar Valley, it is estimated that these expert hunters kill 23.6 percent of all pocket gophers, 35.2 percent of ground squirrels and 76.2 percent of all voles.

In the story “Coyote Steals Fire,” Coyote utilizes the help of others to reach his goal of getting the fire rock from Thunder. Many different animals contribute to the achieving of the fire, and they play a significant role in what happens. Coyote would not have successfully got the fire if not for the animals, most specifically the birds. Particularly in the story the narrator reveals, “Coyote called upon all the animals to come up to the mountaintop to help him carry the big rock that contained the fire” (Erodes and Ortiz 45). Coyote obtains the assistance of all of the animals that are willing, showing he needs as much help from others as he can get.
