Lewis and Clark were the first to document a siting of a coyotes in 1804. Per the Smithsonian, "Coyotes were not known in the eastern woodlands of Lewis' native Virginia at the time of the expedition. By contrast, coyotes can be seen regularly today in the Atlantic states, and they now range from Florida to Alaska, and from Maine to Costa Rica. Coyotes are even known to eke out a living in large cities such as Los Angeles and Boston! This successful expansion has led to their victimization by humans, though without any great success in controlling this Survivor's numbers."
