Coyotes and wolves are both canids, but they are not the same species. Coyotes belong to Canis latrans, while wolves belong to Canis lupus. They differ in habitat, diet, and behavior. Coyotes are found in North and Central America and eat rodents, insects, and fruit. Wolves live in North America, Europe, and Asia and typically hunt deer, elk, and moose. Coyotes are more social and live in groups of up to 10, while wolves are more territorial and live in packs of 2–15.
