Abstract:
Coyotes are secretive and very wary animals that are active at dawn and dusk. Although they live in the state's one hundred counties, coyote sightings have been rare, but that is changing. Both coyote and human populations are increasing in North Carolina. Webber discusses the negative image the animals have, especially among rural residents, farmers, ranchers, and hunters, and ways to improve relations between the two groups.

Abstract:
Twenty years ago, there were 14 red wolves left in the nation. Through wildlife management, this endangered animal was brought back. In 1987, red wolves were successfully released into the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina. Now, with the spread of coyotes across the state, interbreeding, which almost destroyed the red wolf's genetic purity once before, threatens it again.

Abstract:
The coyote's range is expanding. In the early 1980s, the animal was found in only four of the state's one hundred counties. By 1998, it had almost covered the state. Impacts from such proliferation include increased human-animal encounters and threats to native wildlife.

Abstract:
Mention coyote and images of the West appear in the mind; however, within the past decade this pest from the West has arrived in North Carolina. There have been sightings in Jones, Craven, and Beaufort Counties, but the first evidence that the animals are breeding was discovered when some coyote pups were found on a Jones County farm.

Abstract:
Mention the word coyote, and individuals first think of the Old West. However, this animal is spreading across the country and has reached North Carolina. The population is still quite small, but it is expected to grow. Coyotes prey on rats and mice, but also feed on deer, rabbits, and even livestock. Environmentalists are concerned that the coyote will have an adverse effect on the newly started red wolf release program in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
