Awesome Adaptations
Coyotes Fur

• First, I will talk about the coyotes
  adaptations. They have a lot of adaptations, but
  I will tell you only a few of the adaptation.
• The first one is coyotes have fur to keep them
  warm when the weather is freezing.
• The second one is they have speed to catch their
  prey so their prey doesnt run away.
• They have sharp teeth to rip open their prey.
• Fur that can camouflage so they can hide from
  their predator and sneak up on their prey.

Life Cycle
This is an adult coyote.

• The coyotes life cycle is so interesting. The
  life cycle goes like First, the female coyote
  tries to find a mate, when she finds the right
  one, she tries to have her pups born in the
  spring because there is food in the spring.
  Later, when the pups a born, they are blind in
  their den. In about 14 days, they are able to
  see. Soon, the pups are fed by their mother for
  5-7 weeks. In about 3 weeks, they start to eat
  half solid, half liquid food that their mother
  and father have thrown up. At the end of summer,
  the pups turn to coyotes and have freedom
  depending on how much food is in their habitat
  and\or how the weather is in their habitat.
