Coyotes: The True Comparison
So a good number of people seem to think that coyotes are just smaller, less important versions of wolves. But that's not true, they are quite different in shape and design. The word coyote comes from the Latin words that mean singing-dog; coyotes are also known as 'songdogs'.
There are two different main varieties of coyote (with several different recognized subspecies) The field and plains variety is much smaller, averaging between 15-40 lbs, and are sometimes the size of foxes. Southern coyotes generally have thinner coats and can appear either fox-like or jackal-like (depending on the region) The coyotes that live in highlands or mountains, where food is scarce, tend to be bigger, ranging from 40-60 lb. The northern variety also have darker coats.
Coyotes are the second fastest land mammal in North America (the Pronghorn Antelope is the fastest) reaching speeds of up to 43 miles per hour. They have much larger ears, longer and slimmer muzzles, as well as bushy tails and triangular eyes. They are shorter in height than wolves, but also much less bulky. Also unlike wolves, coyotes can bark. Coyotes can live in routs of about six individuals, but usually hunt alone or in pairs (unlike wolves) They mature after the first year and can leave home at about nine months of age. They usually eat small animals, though will hunt birds and deer; they prefer fresh meat to scavenging. In the autumn and winter, they will eat wild fruits and vegetables (and are known for raiding melon patches)
Coyotes seem to be more adaptable than wolves, as their numbers and range have actually grown over the years, filling in where the wolf left off. They are seen in cities, digging though cans, and have been known to walk right into public places. However, they are still dangerous and will prey on pets, and even small children. Coyotes are only native to North America, and unlike wolves, are generally active during the day (but these habits seem to be changing over time)
Here are some good pictures:

Re: Coyotes: The True Comparison
I don`t see why people compare coyotes to wolves as being "less important" or not as special. I love that coyotes live in Toronto and in the suburbs. I dislike road runner...I hope coyote finally gets that evil chicken.

Re: Coyotes: The True Comparison
Road Runner is a, well, a roadrunner. It's a type of bird.
Alas, I don't think we have coyotes in Florida. I think there are returning to Florida though, I can't remember.
EDIT: Some info I found...

The coyote (Canis latrans) is becoming a common occurrence on Florida's landscape. Traditionally associated with the American West, the coyote has become an established species in the eastern U.S., including Florida (Hill et al. 1987). Range expansion can be attributed to the coyote's nonspecific needs in habitat and food; large litter size and short generation time; decreased competition across its range from other predators--the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and red wolf, (Canis rufus) , grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) and puma (Felis concolor) ; and the coyote's ability to adapt to and benefit from human activities (Moore & Parker 1992, USFWS 1978, Gier 1975) .
