A superb compendium,
By Glenn Johnson (Pocono Mts., Pa.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eastern Coyote (Paperback)
After searching for years for a book specifically about the EASTERN Coyote, I've finally come across it. I picked this book up several years ago, after becoming fascinated by the eastern coyote that roams in my local area of the Pocono Mts. Mr Parker has done an excellent job of laying out the facts of where these wild predators came from, their physical characteristics, and their natural history. Highly recommended!!

This review is from: Eastern Coyote (Paperback)
This is thorough review of the literature on the eastern coyote. It is quite scientific, and not light reading by any stretch of the imagination, but so well written and well organized that it is readable by the intelligent, educated non-biologist. Parker's reasoning is always tight, logical and well presented....How refreshing that is!
He discusses in great detail the ability of the eastern coyote to adapt to ever changing environmental pressures. Now larger than the western coyote, possibly due to introgression of wolf genes, the eastern coyote exhibits increased sociality, pack hunting, and, consequently, the ability to take much larger prey than the smaller, more solitary western coyote. The subject of the relationship between the eastern coyote and white tailed deer is covered in appropriate depth. Parker explains that this is not a static system, and we can expect the eastern coyote to continue to adapt to meet the challenges of the northeast, which the eastern coyote only recently colonized.
