ok cascade dad, here ya go as I promised:
""When hunting, coyotes sometimes pursue prey in relays, enabling packs to run down animals that could escape a single coyote. The list of prey able to escape a coyote is short, however, because coyotes can run in bursts as fast as forty miles per hour. They can also travel up to 400 miles at a stretch, stopping only occasionally to howl for news. "" the site is

""Like other wild dogs, coyotes have a muscular body, long legs, and a bushy tail. They can run up to 40 miles per hour and often run down fast-moving jackrabbits. Coyotes have a unique nighttime howl (a series of yelps followed by a prolonged wail), which usually announces an individual’s
territory or location.""

""Coyotes (Canis latrans) are highly adaptable canids (members of the family Canidae). Capable of running at 25 to 30 mph (40 to 50 km/h) for prolonged periods of time, they can attain 40 mph (65 km/h) in short bursts of speed. Coyotes are one of the fastest species of canids, but unlike most canids, they run with their tails down.""
