Coyote Pup
Canis latrans (pup)
Coyote pups are born in dens dug into banks, brushy slopes, or abandoned burrows across much of North and Central America. They remain dependent on their parents at first, playing with littermates and gradually following adults on short explorations near the den. Their early diet is milk, later supplemented with regurgitated meat and small prey brought by adults. A litter commonly contains four to seven pups, whose yips and playful wrestling help develop social bonds.
