While the exact origins are unclear, it's generally credited to a collaboration between:
* Chuck Jones: Known for his work on classic Looney Tunes characters and short films, Jones is credited with the initial concept and design of Wile E. Coyote.
* Robert McKimson: Another prominent animator for Warner Bros., McKimson took on the role of directing many Wile E. Coyote cartoons, refining the character and his antics.
Therefore, attributing the creation of Wile E. Coyote to a single individual is difficult. It was the result of a collective effort by the talented animation team at Warner Bros.
