The 4,995-hour airline transport rated pilot reported that the nose wheel assembly of the 8-passenger turbo fan airplane collapsed following an on-ground collision with a coyote during the landing roll on Runway 17 (a 5,364-foot long by 100-foot wide asphalt runway) during a dark night visual approach. The public airport was not equipped with a perimeter fence to keep wild life away from the airport. The pilot was able to maintain the airplane on the runway until the airplane came to a complete stop in the upright position with the collapsed nose landing gear. The 2 crewmembers and the 8 passenger were able to egress from the airplane unassisted. There was no fire.
Probable Cause: The airplane's collision with a coyote during the landing roll. A contributing factor was the prevailing night conditions.
