The document proposes a coyote enrichment device called the "Coyote Wheel" to address the lack of mobility and stimulation for confined coyotes. The wheel would allow coyotes to run at their maximum speed of 40 mph while following a revolving prey toy to simulate hunting. Diagrams of the proposed design are included showing dimensions and features to ensure safety for the animal. Materials needed and any additional questions for engineers are also outlined.

Coyotes are active animals, however, they seem to be confined in a small area; limiting mobility.
We aim to provide the coyotes with
Define the a feeling of a wider space, and a sense of self reliance. problem Coyotes can reach speeds up to 40 mph and are born hunters. The design must be safe for the Research / animal (no sharp edges, danger points, etc.) and must provide Design enrichment for said animal. In order to provide enrichment, the Specifications device must fit with the characteristics of the wild life. Coyote Wheel The wheel will allow the coyote to run at its max speed, whilst Project following a fictional prey, that will be revolved as the coyotes runs on the wheel, imitating Description hunting. The wheel provides the required enrichment. The product will be inspected for any parts that may cause a problem. The keepers may rest easy knowing the device is easy to operate. Simply put food in the center cylinder. Its over all circumference is 5.5 ft. What would be needed to install it? Include Isometric view of project Include an assembly drawing (or more than one) with annotations to highlight the features (balloon Project drawing) Include dimension drawing of Diagrams overall project Include dimension drawings of parts that the Zoo Keepers might need to use or that you want help on. Project Model This a Isometric view of our model, it was made on Fusion 360. The diameter of the circle is 11 feet, and the length of the pole is 3 feet. Wooden Planks PvC pipe Animal toy that holds Materials food A nut and bolt will also be included Anything else you need from the Questions for engineers. Panel
