I was pretty surprised to find out all the differences between wolves and coyotes, especially that from a wolf's front foot to their shoulder to their hip and down forms a square, but that on a coyote is a rectangle (see pictures below).

Some other things I was surprised to learn were that when the wolves were killed, the coyote's population exploded. I didn't realize how important wolves were to keeping coyotes in check. Another interesting thing was that they accept even elderly and sick, and I think that causes more people to die of unsanitary conditions than any other situation. It was also surprising to me that the wagons rode side by side on the trail. You'd think, with such deep tracks, they followed right behind each other. Did you know, back in the day, bug spray was buffalo and bear fat?
Also, I was really surprised to discover that a dog has a disease that can infect wolves and coyotes! Wow!
