true or false

Answer 1

I found this on Wiki Answers :P

"some yes, some no. Recently coyotes have been killing pets, they learned to wait by house doors to nab cats, its creepy. They have developed a special way to hunt big dogs in my area, one coyote goes and bites the dog, then acts scared and runs away. They want the dog to follow them, one dog did and the coyote stayed just ahead. The moment they got behind a bush, five coyotes jumped the dog, torn it to pieces, and ate it. they are specializing in hunting pets, to answer your question, yes."

Answer 3

No problem :P

Answer 4

Overall, I would say that coyotes are not specialist species. They don't have a specific niche in which they must reside in order to survive. In fact, they can thrive in most of North America. Furthermore, they have a rather diversified, unrestricted diet. These two factors suggest that coyotes are very generalist species.
