In what ecosystem do coyotes live?

The iconic Central and North American Canis latrans (Coyote) ranges from Panama in the south, throughout Mexico and the United States, and most of Canada. In Canada, their eastern territory remains south of Hudson Bay, but in the west, they range through about half of Saskatchewan, all of Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon- even on up into Alaksa. That covers jungle, subtropical, montane, temperate forest, low, medium, and high desert,prairie, and even urban environs. They have proven to be quite adaptable; yet not easily tamed, even when raised from birth. They've been occasionally spotted in New York's Central Park, and one even quietly entered a Quizno's sandwich shop during the lunch hour in the Chicago Loop district in 2007.
