They hunt on cool nights and cool evenings in groups of two or three. They don't just eat meat. They enjoy fruit too. They could make a mess of a melon patch in a hurry. Pups get food from their parents until they are old enough to go out of the den.
Females give birth to six pups at a time.
The largest litter known had nineteen pups in it. Pups have good covering fur and have closed eyes when they are born. The parents make a den to protect the pups from people, cougars and eagles. People are the worst enemies because they are shooting, poisoning and trapping them. All rights reserved.
