how many babies do coyotes have
HOW MANY BABIES DOES A MOTHER COYOTE HAVE? A coyote is a wild animal that belongs to the dog family. It is also closely related to the wolf. A female becomes a mother after a two month gestation period in spring by bearing between five and 10 babies that are called pups. Coyote pups are tended by both parents. By autumn each pup will weigh about 20 pounds and will be able to fend for himself. A male and female pair of coyotes probably mate for life.
