Coyote
The coyote has a reputation of being a sneaky thief. This comes from stealing the livestock of farmers and perhaps from their slinking trot, shifty-eyed body language and nocturnal activities.

Brown Pelican
Currently on the Endangered Species List, the brown pelican is found along the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf Coast of the US and Mexico, extending as far south as Venezuela on the Atlantic Coast, and to Chile on the Pacific Coast. Following the nesting season, the brown pelican can also be found northward – in Nova Scotia and British Columbia. The brown pelican’s habitat is typically waterfronts, marina, sandy beaches and lagoons in coastal areas.
