Summary Of Rise Of The Coyote: The New Top Dog By Sharon Levy

In her article “Rise of the Coyote: The New Top Dog,” Sharon Levy describes that coyotes need to stop being criticized as static entities and know that they are evolving rapidly.

The larger animals that are prey make the smaller animals feel that they secure in their habitat because the wild animal that could kill them, has something that could kill the predator.
