I always found that pretty amazing. Coyotes have existed in north america for over a million years and they happened to finally make it to this island just a few decades ago.

There's actually no brown bears here in Newfoundland either, just black bears and coyotes. Neither of which are particularly good at taking down an adult. There used to be wolves, but Wikipedia tells me they went extinct in 1911 which doesn't leave much room for interaction between the species.
