Description
The coyote is the official state mammal in South Dakota and the official mascot at the University of South Dakota. Despite their apparently prestigious position in the state, coyotes have been the target of an intensive control effort for many years. This campaign was initiated because of coyote depredation on poultry and livestock. Overall, however, the coyote's food habits benefit man because a large majority of its diet consists of nuisance animals and carrion.
