Here's why:
* Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis (using sunlight) or chemosynthesis (using chemicals).
* Heterotrophs obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
Coyotes are carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores (eating both plants and animals). They rely on hunting and scavenging for their food, making them heterotrophic.
