    1. They don’t have to. Unless you think pushing a button in reach is a truly impossible feat to overcome.
    2. It’s close enough to a dog.

      Is that what the story claimed? That a coyote just pushed a button?

      Coyotes are not as trainable as dogs because they didn’t evolve alongside humans for thousands of years.

        I dunno. When did the first humans arrive in North America? You’re talking like we don’t have examples of other animals learning about/from humans in significantly less time than “thousands of years”.
