Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History

Product Information

Snow coyotes are a rare breed of coyotes, not to be mistaken for albino coyotes. So rather than having an absence of pigment, these rare “snow coyotes” are located around Newfoundland. They have very specific genes that turn their coat white, hence the name “Snow coyotes”. Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Samaniego Castruita, Jose A.; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S.; Kuderna, Lukas F.

Unlike the wolf, if the population begins to decline, more pups will survive, as there is more food to go around. This is where the wolf was at a disadvantage and declined in numbers when hunted. 21.

Coyotes are monogamous, they find a partner and mate for life. They only take a new partner after the previous partner has died. As such coyotes remain in long-lasting or long-term relationships. 3. Coyotes raise their pups as a unit Coyotes move silently by walking on the tip of their toes when they sense predators or any other potential danger. This makes them far less traceable by predators. They’re also extremely alert, with a great sense of smell, radar-like ears able to detect the slightest sounds, as well as good eyesight. a b c d e f g h i j k l Gier, H.T. (1974).

Enganchadores", Spanish for "hookers" (from the verb "to hook"), were Mexican individuals hired by U.S employers as labour recruiters. Enganchadores would persuade Mexican peasants to travel on the railway in acceptance of American jobs. The enganche system was not a novelty in Mexico. It had been established to recruit southern peasants for work in northern industries within the country. Companies in the United States effectively used the system to satisfy their labour needs. It can be argued that enganchadores are an ancestor of the modern-day coyote. [1] Like today's coyotes, they acted as middlemen between migrants and the United States.
