The northeastern coyote (Canis latrans thamnos) is a subspecies of coyote native to most of the Midwestern United States, the eastern Canadian Prairies, and Central Canada. Historically, it ranged within the prairies of the Midwest, but has expanded its range, which now includes most of the Great Lakes region.
