From what country do coyotes come?
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.

No. They are a small animal about the size of a medium size dog. They are more afraid of humans than humans are of them. They will avoid contact with humans and can and have adapted well to the city life and live in the suburbs of some states in the US.
