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."
Coyotes generally prefer the solitary life but will occasionally form loose groups for convenience, to make taking larger prey items easier. They are not a strict social group as found in the wolf pack, however.
they mostly keep warm under trees so that no one can see them ,but the sun can still come in so they can keep warm!
They very well can. However, if your horse is in a large feild with a few other horses, they will protect each other and run from the coyote and most likely escape unscathed. However, in a small pen, the horse has no where to go and will likely be injured, either by the coyote, or from his attempts to escape.

What is an interesting fact of a coyote?

Coyote's (dogs) are not completely color blind. However, they do not have the same color vision as humans and it has been noted they cannot tell the difference between red and green. The reason for this is that there are only two kinds of color receptors in the retinas of their eyes. Humans have three kinds of color cells, with three different receptor molecules sensitive to blue, greenish-yellow, and red, dogs only have receptors for yellow and greenish-blue.
Canine eyes also lack another human trait the 'fovea'. an area especially dense with detailing-sensing cells. As a result, their detail vision is not as good as ours. But they make up for this by having much better night vision and greater sensitivity to movement.
