Alex Wolf: Often maligned, coyotes are highly intelligent and tolerant of human modifications to their habitats. They are critical for controlling prey populations and maintaining ecological balance. Dan Smith: This picture will likely cause debate. People argue about how often coyotes will take deer versus scavenge, but based on other pictures the camera took leading up to this, I think the coyotes actively predated this fawn.
