Collection: Coyote - Winter

In winter, the coyote ( Canis latrans ) demonstrates an astonishing ability to adapt to the harsh conditions of Quebec. Its coat becomes thicker and grayish, providing excellent thermal insulation and camouflage in snowy landscapes. Opportunistic, it modifies its diet according to available resources: small mammals, carcasses, dried berries and sometimes human waste. Less active during storms, it nevertheless maintains a vast territory that it travels silently, often alone or in small family groups. The coyote plays an essential ecological role by regulating rodent populations. In winter, its straight line prints in the snow betray its presence. Although it sometimes arouses suspicion, it remains discreet and generally avoids humans. Better understanding its winter behavior promotes harmonious cohabitation with this animal, which is increasingly anchored in Quebec ecosystems.
