Coyote Pups vs the World: The Early Struggles of Survival

After coyote pups are born, the mother raises them in a den. Once they are able to eat full prey, they venture outside of the den, where they learn how to hunt!

Coyote pups, also known as whelps, are the offspring of coyotes and are born in litters of 3 to 7 pups. They are typically born in dens and rely on their mothers for protection, nourishment, and guidance for their first few months of life.
Coyote pups are playful and curious, and they quickly begin to explore their surroundings and learn important survival skills. They are an important part of the ecosystem and play a critical role in maintaining a balance in the populations of smaller animals.
