Flexi Says: Coyotes have gray-brown to yellow-brown fur on the upper half torso and the tail, and whitish fur on the underbelly, under the muzzle, and on the legs. They have big, tawny ears, a long muzzle with a large black nose, yellow eyes, a long torso, and a long, bushy tail. Their scientific name, Canis latrans, is Latin for barking dog. The common name comes from the Nahuatl Indian word coyote.
