The Northeastern coyote (Canis latrans thamnos) is a subspecies of coyote native to north-central Saskatchewan east to southern Ontario, historically south to northern Indiana and west to Missouri. However, due to increased clearing of land for agriculture, the Northeastern coyote has expanded its range throughout the entire state of Indiana. It is similar to C. l. latrans, or larger, but darker in color, and has a broader skull.[1] [2] [3]
