Wild Animals at Home by Ernest Thompson Seton

"WILD ANIMALS AT HOME" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a collection of naturalistic observations and essays written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the behavior and characteristics of various wild animals, particularly in the Yellowstone region, showcasing Seton's experiences as he studies their lives. The narrative combines personal anecdotes with a deeper appreciation for the untamed animals and their habitats. At the start of the book, Seton introduces the Coyote, which he describes as an exemplary creature thriving in the wilderness of the Wild West. He recounts his long-term observations across the Rocky Mountains, particularly in Yellowstone Park, highlighting the Coyote's cleverness, social behavior, and adaptations to survive in a world increasingly encroached upon by humans. The opening portion sets a vivid stage for the reader, blending natural history with engaging stories about the Coyote's hunting techniques and social dynamics within its environment.
