Johnston's coyote or ''Canis lepophagus'' (Latin: ''canis'': 'dog', leporem: 'hare' or 'rabbit', suffix -phagus: '-eating'; hence hare-eating dog) is an extinct species of canid which was endemic to much of North America and lived from 4.9-1.8 Mya in the Blancan period.〔(PaleoBiology Database: ''Canis lepophagus, age range and collections )〕 It is one of the more basal species of ''Canis'', having existed before most of the major clades split. It was a small, narrow-skulled canid which may have given rise to grey wolves and coyotes. Some larger, broader-skulled ''C. lepophagus'' fossils found in northern Texas may represent the ancestral stock from which true wolves derive. ==Canid competitors== The Johnston's coyote lived during a period with other Canidae, specifically Borophaginae such as ''Epicyon'' (20.6—5.330 Mya), Paratomarctus (16.3—5.3 Mya), Borophagus (23.3—3.6 Mya), Carpocyon (20.4—3.9 Mya), and Aelurodon (23.03—4.9 Mya).
