A food chain is sequence of plants, herbivores and carnivores, through which energy and materials move within an ecosystem. Food chains are usually short and not more than three or four links. They usually consist of a producer, a consumer and a predator, with the predator being the top of the food chain. The top of the desert food chain does eventually die though, and is returned to the bottom of the chain as nutrients by decomposes.The energy from the sun is used by the plants, and then the plants feed small animals. The coyote eats these small animals. After the coyote dies its remains go back into the soil, and then the cycle starts all over again.That is where the coyote sits in the food chain.Having the ability to eat anything it can chew, the coyote is a cunning hunter and an opportunistic scavenger. The coyote can run up to 40 mph, and combine its abilities with one or two others when they are running down their prey. Coyotes can eat insects, arachnids, rabbits, deer, big horn sheep, chickens, and sheep. They also may eat household pets such as cats and dogs.Old predators of the coyote were the grizzly and black bears; mountain lions; and wolves, but because their populations have gone down, they aren't as big a threat anymore.Depredation, killing coyotes because they are harmful, has become common in ranching areas. Ranchers fear for their wildlife. Also, since the coyote's fur has become so valuable, man became their main predator. They are scared of us, because we are the dominant species. Also, another reason is that we can eat almost anything we want, including them.
A coyotes food chain is deer, rabbit, and other small animals.
It is a food chain.
it would effect the food chain because one part of the food chain is missing

the piranha cannot be at the end of the food chain.
well it depends on what part of the desert and which desert but it is one of the top of the food chain in most areas
Pumas are among the big cat family and are more powerful than coyotes. Coyotes normally eat animals that are below them in the food chain and Pumas are not.
Generally the lower in a food chain an organism is the more abundant it is.
Coyotes will eat just about any animal that is below them in the food chain. Some of these may include rabbits, mountain goats, and squirrels.
coyotes are predators that eat herbivores who in turn get sustenance from plants. this is a simple food chain
coyotes owls cats snakes and alot if ither rodent eating animals
Polar Bears Arctic Fox's Coyotes Grizzly bears Killer Whales
Wolves and coyotes may compete for some of the same food. No wolves equals more food for coyotes. More food equals more coyotes.
Animals that have died and are returning to the food chain. Carrion eaters like coyotes and buzzards,bugs and worms eat this decaying flesh.
Coyotes don't store food outside of their bodies. They do store food like you and I do as fat on the body.
A niche describes how an animal fits into their environment. This includes where it is on the food chain, where it lives, and how it behaves.A niche describes how an animal fits into their environment. This includes where it is on the food chain, where it lives, and how it behaves.
