How to pronounce "coyote"?

Q: How to pronounce "coyote"?

The word 'coyote' is pronounced as 'kie-ow-tee'. The "kie" or "kai" sound is similar to that of the "ie" in pie, whilst the "ow" sound is that of the "o" letter sound and then the "tee" is that of a golf tee or the tea which you drink. (kie-o-tee).

As I walked through the zoo with my children, we came upon a coyote exhibit. My youngest pointed and asked, "Daddy, how do you say 'coyote'?" Not wanting to mispronounce it, I decided to ask you for guidance.
