For today’s Exhibit of the Day, let’s check out the Hunting Dog Diorama! This scene, which takes place on the Serengeti Plain in northern Tanzania, depicts a group of these predatory dogs with their gaze fixed on a distant zebra. African hunting dogs (Lycaon pictus) are some of the continent’s most formidable predators: Thanks to their teamwork, these carnivores have a hunting success rate of more than 70 percent—far higher than that of lions or leopards.

As with all of the Museum’s habitat dioramas, this scene is a re-creation based on the meticulous observations of scientists in the field in the early twentieth century and the onsite sketches and photographs of the artists who accompanied them. You can see this diorama in the Museum’s Hall of African Mammals! Plan your visit.

Canis latrans

Coyotes are very closely related to grey wolves and dogs. It’s believed that they split (or became a distinct species) from wolves around 1.5 million years ago. This is pretty recent compared to foxes that split over 9 million years ago.

The name coyote comes from “coyōtl,” which is the Aztec word for trickster. The coyote’s scientific name, Canis latrans, comes from the latin words for dog (Canis) and barking (latrans), so the name essentially means “barking dog.”

Coyotes are found throughout most of North America. They live all through Mexico and Central America, as well as most of Canada and every state except for Hawaii. They are found in a wide variety of habitats, including plains, mountains, deserts, forests, and urban areas.

Omnivorous like all other canines, the coyote’s diet changes in different regions. They are very adaptable and can live on mostly small animals, fruits, carrion, or garbage. They have been known to hunt larger animals like deer and bison calves, but this is harder for them than it is for wolves, their close relatives, due to their smaller size- Coyotes usually weigh around 30 pounds (13.6 kg) while wolves are generally over twice that size.

Similar to wolves, coyotes often live in packs, or family groups. These groups are usually smaller than wolf packs and they generally don’t hunt together. Although they prefer hunting alone like most other canines, coyotes have been recorded hunting with other animal species, specifically badgers. Badgers are very strong diggers, so coyotes work with them to hunt ground squirrels and prairie dogs.

To communicate with each other and define territories, coyotes howl. Their howls don’t sound like the classic wolf howl, though- theirs is very chaotic and shrill compared to a wolf’s, and it almost seems like they’re just screaming for fun.

I rate the coyote 14/10. Very chaotic energy
