The coyote is an animal commonly found in the Mojave Desert.

Coyotes are one of the most adaptable and widespread animals in North America, thriving in a variety of ecosystems, including the Mojave Desert. In this arid landscape, coyotes are well-suited to the extreme conditions, using their sharp senses and hunting skills to survive. They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles, and are often heard howling at night. Unlike animals like the Arctic fox or moose, which are adapted to cold or forested environments, coyotes are perfectly adapted to the Mojave’s hot, dry conditions and can be found throughout the desert.
