A coyote is not a wolf, they kind of look like a cross between a wolf and a fox, but they are neither. They thrive just about everywhere and wolves do not. Biologically, coyotes are closely related to wolves and can crossbreed with them. Unlike dogs, they are not believed to be directly descended from them however. Wolves often prey on coyotes, so territory overlap is typically limited by whether or not there is a local wolf population. Wolfdogs also tend to instinctively prey on coyotes (my German Shepherd absolutely loves trying to chase them down, but they are very elusive).

Which is why it is weird that there would be werecoyotes in Beacon Hills, especially if they had been around a long time. Granted, Talia seemed like a very good-natured Alpha. But one would have expected her and her pack to at least monitor, if not control, werecoyote activity in their territory.
