But I think they are adorable dogs 🐶
#Genetic studies show that most North American #wolves contain some level of #coyote #DNA 🧫🧬
The coyote is a prominent character in Native American #folklore mainly in #Aridoamerica , usually depicted as a #trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions. The animal was especially respected in #Mesoamerican #cosmology as a symbol of military might. After the European colonization of the Americas, it was seen in Anglo-American culture as a cowardly and untrustworthy animal. Unlike wolves, which have seen their public image improve, attitudes towards the coyote remain largely negative.
