Trotting along in a small group or individually, the coyote is a familiar presence on the sand sheet landscape. As an ecological opportunist, they feed on whatever is available, kangaroo rats, jackrabbits, and sometimes even succulent plants and their berries. They are sometimes found partaking on the leftovers of a mountain lion kill.
