Coyote is a species, "police dog" is a job description.
Definitely a police dog since police dogs are much more powerful and can even kill robbers. Although coyotes are quite powerful to kill police dogs, police dogs have better defense than coyotes.
No; wolves live, hunt, and play in the day. They rest in the night.
Additional user note: It's always astonishing to me that somebody (in this instance Gothwolfgirl6) that has absolutely no idea what he or she is talking about receives "confidence votes" when the answer is absolutely wrong.
Hey, Gothwolfgirl6: it's the exact opposite. If you're gonna put the word "wolf" in your user name and answer a question about a wolf, then for God's sakes, at least make some sort of effort to possess the actual knowledge.
yes wolfs are nocturnal and stay up all night!!!
Yes, wolves are nocturnal, but sometimes they are active during the daytime.
Coyotes are found in a wide variety of habitats, not just grasslands. They are found from the tundra of North Canada all the way to the rainforests of Central America. They are very adaptable,
How does the coyote hunt prey?

They attack and kill it, like other predators do.
killing small animals or digigng around in my trash cans..
gotta love arizona.
the coyote gets it food by hunting or its already dead.
They're faster than 60 km/h (~37 MPH) for short bursts provided they're sufficiently motivated. I came up on one in the middle of the road trapped between 4' snow banks on each side. He couldn't get off the road, so he ran down the center stripe. He maintained about 45 MPH for several hundred yards with my Jeep bumper inches from his rear. Snow banks petered out and he veered off the road after that. Not sure how long he could maintain the speed.
Coyotes usually walk at about 13 miles (21 km) per hour. When they trot, they can go 20 miles (32 km) per hour. But they can run at twice that speed!
Not as fast as 'Road Runner'.
Do coyote eat ground squirrels?

Do coyotes have a lot of enemies?
Man killed off many of it's natural enemies to a degree including the Eagle - Bears - Mountain Lions - Lynxes - but yes it does have natural enemies.
Depending on where the coyote lives: Bears, wolves, and/or humans.
Well. It depends on the coyote or dog. If it is a dachshund or chihuahua then yes. But if it was a great dane, bull mastiff, Irish wolfhound or guardian dog then no.
I heard of some reports of dogs getting snatched away and disappear suddenly by possible coyote attacks but those are small dogs. But however if it was an old dog that was a large dog, the yote has a slight chance. Guardian dogs are known for scaring off or even on some occasions, kill coyotes that they see.
A pitbull could do good on killing yotes. Although smaller than a coyote, there is a slight chance of the dog being able to kill yotes with aggression. A pitbull is also lock-jawed meaning if a pitbull bit the coyote, it would not let go until it wanted to or if it would bleed to death.
If you have a guardian dog, that is a good thing in scaring a yote off.
if only they feel threatened or cornered. or if they have cubs. and if they also have rabies from a certain type of animal.

Do coyotes migrate hibernate or adapt during the winter?
They adapt. Migretion is for herbivores and hibernations are for the animals that eat food or are that food when snow comes abroad, blanketing the vittles. RoSeWeAsLeY
When coyote pups are born they weight from 8 to 9.7 ounces. An average adult coyote can weigh up to 39 pounds.
Do coyotes usually hunt in packs?
Coyotes tend to travel in packs of 3-6 related coyotes, but often hunt on their own. If there was a coyote attack, it is often 1 coyote. Through they stay in the same area, it is not like a wolf pack. However, it is not rare to see them together.
Coyotes seem to be very well adapted to whatever area they are living in. They've been known to eat anything from live prey to the fruits and veggies growing around their habitats. Some farmers have complained about them destroying their crops at times.
What is the habitat for coyotes?
The coyote's habitat can be anywhere. They are scavengers and hunters. They may live in forests, on the plains, or in deserts. As humans move into areas where they live, they are forced to find new places to live and hunt. Coyotes now range from the middle of Alaska down to the south of Mexico. They live in Canada, parts of the United States, and Mexico.

How does coyotes interact with their environment?
coyotes mainly travel where the deer, mice, rabbits, or where other small animals move.
its both, but if its not, its most likely mushrooms if they are a regullar one
They primarily eat small mammals, such as voles, prairie dogs, eastern cottontails, ground squirrels, and mice, though they will eat birds, snakes, lizards, deer and livestock, as well as large insects and other large invertebrates. Though they will consume large amounts of carrion, they tend to prefer fresh meat.
ANS2:Medium-sized and small dogs that are tied outside and house cats are popular fare for coyotes, too.They will eat grass....if you own a dog then you will note the fact that they sometimes eat grass. This is either because they don't feel good or they just want to....it's like ruffage for them.
Coyotes are similar to wolves in many ways, but not the howl. Wolves have a clear, smooth howl, and coyotes have a whimper-like howl. When coyotes howl, they are barking and then let out a short howl, then keep doing high pitched howls.
