Coyotes

There are so many coyotes around here. Ganieda's relationship with them is unique. There is some protection involved.

Coyote are unique canines. They are smaller than wolves, but larger than foxes. They can eat just about anything. They hunt, but not the large prey that wolves can go after. 

Ordinarily, they do not really consort with wolves, or werewolves, nor with dogs, or weredogs.  And for god reason. Coyotes are the top (wild) dog in the U.S., except where they share the land with wolves. When coyotes and wolves co-exist, coyote populations tend to be 30% lower, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Dogs have many theories on coyotes, as to their behavior and allegiances. None of those theories make sense. Many shamanic cultures place coyotes high on their totem. All cultures recognize coyote's capacity for intelligence and adaptation. Dogs recognize their mercenary ethics. That is why their alliance with Ganieda is so interesting. I would like to know if she really trusts them. 

A key point about coyotes is that they are essential to our survival against the neos. Coyotes cannot sit this one out, or throw in with the neos. I can see them doing that.
