Coyotes are visual predators (meaning they rely on their vision to recognize, track, and seize prey). They are primarily nocturnal hunters, running with their tails pointed downward and reaching speeds of 64 km (40 miles) per hour. They rely on keen senses and hunt using smell and hearing, often targeting snowshoe hares and white-tailed deer.
