How do you pronounce 'coyote'?
It seems there is a difference, depending on where you live....I notice the city folk more often say 'Ki-yo-tee' whereas the country folk tend to pronounce it 'Ki-yoat' (That's how I say it haha) ;)

According to an online dictionary I just tried because I am bored, UK english has 1 pronunciation and american english has 2, the ones you mentioned. But I'm an african, so we got lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs to worry about, not to mention many others I can't name off the top of my head, so keep your predators, we have them in spades. 😱
