Summary Introduction

To describe: The events that happened to the population of coyotes and white-tailed deer between 1700 and now in terms of their range and abundance.

Introduction: Before 1700, wolves roamed over almost all-over North America, coyotes were found mostly in the west of the Mississippi, and white-tailed deer lived throughout the eastern United States, and here most of the land was covered with coniferous or deciduous forests. Wolves reduce the coyote and white-tailed deer population by chasing and hunting them.
