EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts Canis latrans, commonly known as the coyote, as illustrated in Plate 71 from "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," Volume 2, published in 1846. The coyote, a member of the Canidae family and the Caninae subfamily, is a versatile and adaptable canine native to North America. John James Audubon and John Bachman, the renowned naturalists behind this groundbreaking work, meticulously captured the coyote's striking features in this detailed illustration. The coyote is shown in its natural daytime habitat, with its greyish-brown coat blending seamlessly into the grassy landscape. This agile and cunning predator is a carnivore, subsisting on a diet that includes rodents, rabbits, and other small mammals. However, it is also known to consume fruits and vegetables when available. Canis latrans, which translates to "barking dog," is a member of the order Carnivora and the class Mammalia. It is part of the suborder Caniformia, which includes weasels, bears, and seals, and the family Canidae, which includes foxes, wolves, and domestic dogs. The coyote is also closely related to the grey wolf (Canis lupus) and shares many similarities with it. This magnificent illustration, produced during the 19th century, showcases the intricate details of the coyote's anatomy and fur, providing an accurate representation of this fascinating creature. The work of Audubon and Bachman continues to be celebrated for its scientific accuracy and artistic merit, offering a glimpse into the natural history of North America during a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of scientific inquiry.
