Since coyotes come in so many different colours thought itâd be fun to do a post showing some of the variety. Donât know the exact name of all the colours so some are just guesses (@blackbackedjackalâ feel free to correct me on any of these!)Â Some of these colours are natural and others may be the result of hybridisation with domestic dogs and/or wolves.Â
