Coyotes are smaller yet very similar to gray wolves, making them a unique member of the canine family. Despite their smaller size, coyotes are known for their adaptability and ability to survive in a wide range of environments. They're native to North and Central America, often featured in American and Native American folklore as clever tricksters.However, as coyotes have begun to inhabit urban and suburban areas, their image has shifted from folklore creatures to common pests. This lifelike coyote toy figurine, crafted with exceptional attention to detail, invites children to understand and respect these often misunderstood animals better. This figurine's size is comparable to a deck of cards placed on its side, perfect for small hands to grasp and explore. The coyote figurine is part of the Wild Safari® North American Wildlife collection, which includes various American native animals. All our products at Safari Ltd. are non-toxic and BPA-free, offering a safe, educational play experience.
