- Coyotes choose den sites that are around bushy areas, rocky outcrops, and inside of tree stumps. They primarily use their den for rearing pups, but will also use them to get out of the weather, and to hide from other predators.

8:09 Conclusion
Coyotes are versatile and adaptive, they will use multiple den sites throughout the year, when they need to move their pups or flee an area over territorial disputes.
If you come across a coyote den, do not disturb the den. It is good information to have, so you know to avoid the area, however, if you observe, do it from a distance!

3 years ago I was feral hog hunting and found two coyotes that were gored to death and 3 dead feral piglets partly eaten. Turns out they killed the feral hog piglets and the feral hogs sows and bores killed the coyotes. 5 minutes later I heard yelps and yarring coming from a tree. It was coyote pups that were recently born. I put my trail camera to see if the parents ever came back but it was the two dead coyotes who were the parents. I went back and dug them out. I live in an area where the wildlife rangers could not come. So I got some goat's milk and kept them alive for 3 weeks and finally, they came to pick them up as it was getting hard to care for them. They are now ambassadors at a wildlife sanctuary, I visit them every month. They still know who I am and turn into puppy dogs jumping on me licking me and yarring at me when they see me. That day bottle feeding them I quit predator hunting and fell in love with coyotes. They are not like dog puppies. They need meat and milk and wean off milk fast. I ran out of chickens and hog-feeding those little guys, They are fierce for pups.
That's an awesome story! 🐾
Awesome you saved Coyotes.
Wow! Great story thanks for sharing!
When it comes to feral pigs and how large full grown ones get, and how invasively destructive they are like described here; I wonder if gray wolf packs and if jaguars in particular are the most capable of keeping feral pigs in check.
Otherwise, great story. The more I learn about wolves and coyotes, the more timelessly universal dog traits I see in them. They bark, they howl, they whimper, and they love their families.
What a beautiful story ❤❤❤
I was in a cemetery, making arrangements for myself, and not feeling too cheerful about this chore. And then I saw an adult coyote trotting across the very site I had picked out. Good vibe. The funeral director said they were very happy to have a coyote family on site, as they kept the ground hog population under control.
I think most coyote sightings are positive experiences! Unless of course they are causing trouble! In your case, sounds like they are right at home! 🐾
The best way to identify a coyote den is from all the discarded ACME boxes near the entrance. 🤔🤣
Haha. Yes! 🧨
Coyotes are quite adaptable and very intelligent which explains their success. They will still be here long after people are gone.
I agree! Their survival skills keep their population numbers up.
while solo camping I was watching a "dog" or so I thought frolicking in the sunlight right in front of my tent, it left, I followed, saw a man hiking asked, "where's your dog?" He replies "nope, no dog" I went back to camp. Then learned it was a coyote. I heard the pack a few nights later. Not scary, comforting actually.
Hey Sue, Glad you had a positive experience! 🐾
I was exploring the wooded area of my yard and found 5 dens after losing a few chickens from coyotes I watch this video to make sure they were coyote Dens and now I know this video was a great help
Thanks for watching! 🐾
During pursuit, a coyote may reach speeds up to 43 mph (69 km/h), and can jump a distance of over 4 meters (13⅛ feet). Keep that in mind when walking your unleashed pets in coyote country.
Yes! Thanks for sharing that. 🐾
Well done, man. Highly informative. Thank you.
Hey, Larry. Thank you for watching! 🐾
@@assortedanimalsonline I appreciate your fine work on this. Learned a lot. Thanks again.
Nice video keep it going 1k subs
Thank you! 🐾
Great info. Thank you for this!
Hey Robert! Thank you so much, glad it was helpful. 🐾
Was clearing away an old pile of down logs and pulled one away only to see a youth coyote laying there looking frightened, I was as well and jumped back about 10 feet and it cautiously crawled out and trotted away, this was less than 200 feet from my back door
It must have needed shelter. They usually stay pretty far away from human activity!
Caught a picture of a black one back in 2016. It peed in a buck scrape I'd set my trail camera on. Nice video.
That sounds awesome, Terry! I saw a black/melanistic red fox once. Thanks for watching!
@@assortedanimalsonlinewow!! How amazing the black melanistic red foxes are STUNNING !!
@@jennifermarie1230 love silver/black foxes!
I like them. I have them in my woods.
I’ve seen quite a few lately 🐾
Live in woods along creek. Heard pack howling last night. Spotted 5 today. CANNOT let grand kids freely roam around outside now. Watching kids play from window is no longer possible.
Definitely don’t want to take any chances! 🐾
Get your gun sighted in pops
Put out some bait and wait.
The only time coyotes den up is when they have pups. If you go near them when they are active they will move their pups. If you look around the area you will find holes they have cleaned out for emergency moves. There dens are always clean with no left overs from meals. They feed pups by food
regurgitating the pups trigger the adults to coughing up food by biting their lips and hanging on. Have crawled in dens with the female in them and they showed no sign of aggression. 30 yrs a pro coyote trapper.
Thanks for that awesome feedback Robert! 🐾
@@assortedanimalsonline Your welcome! Enjoyed the video! Had two coyotes as pets taught me a lot about them. The Smartest animal I know of.
@@robertmclean9737you raised them to what age? And how are they different from raising a dog?
@@PBTexasBoy Had one of them for 1.5 yrs, the other one about 6 months. They were pretty tame would come when I whistled for them, when it came to food watch out for your hand. A lot like a dog, but they were still wild.
@@robertmclean9737 oh ok. That’s pretty interesting. Thanks for replying
Had a coyote walk up to me about 15 feet while i was checking on my rabbit snares here in Edmonton,Alberta canada.
That's pretty close 🐾
We have more than we had around here in mass but a lot has to do with lack of control. They are resourceful and very smart ,pound 4 pound very dangerous ! Even agains my 100 pound dog. They can/will kill almost any animal and do. Respect to the Wiley coyote.
They can definitely do some damage. 🐾
Have you ever seen a coyote? Tell us about it! 🐾
Have called coyotes in while turkey hunting in spring….Thought I was a hen.?
I've seen several of them, inside out, after skinning
They also make great house pets after a taxidermy mounts them. The most fun is calling them in and planting a bullet In them
I saved my cats life from a coyote attack

my city is located in a desert, my house, the backside of our back wall... all you see is desert for miles, I'm out there all the time and have never once come across a coyote, although I have come across several coyote dens. I always hear them at night howling. it wasn't until a few days ago, I was out walking around in the desert and looked a little ahead of me and saw a coyote starting right at me. I was so scared, but I've seen so many videos on coyotes and their behavior so I knew not to run away, I backed away slowly and so did the coyote, once I was far enough, I turned away and started walking away quickly, I was so scared and I don't even know why lol
Yesterday I had an old coyote limp across the road in front of me. He was large and looked like he’d seen better days. Sounds like you handled your situation well! Thanks for the comment 🐾
If it was daytime, they were either sick or very hungry
@PBTexasBoy I wasn't very close, but from the way it looked, they seemed and appeared looking very healthy! I've seen some other coyotes and I've been told the ones we have out here are often seen as very lanky and looking malnourished, but tbh the one I saw appeared very full looking and healthy. I don't know why it mightve been our during the daytime but it was definitely an experience.
@@TripleEm3 gotcha
Want to get a shock. Put a game camera there and see how many fawns she brings to her pups before they leave.
That would be wild to see!
*I've seen around but haven't seen any den*
They can be stealthy and only den during making season.
I was walking along a creek and came upon a pile of branches and a big dead dead fall. Heard growling. He's right about along creeks. So much of YT is know-it-alls. Not this one.
Hey Jay! Thanks for watching 🐾
I was investigating what I thought was a coyote den in the woods near my house when I was sidetracked by a delicious pile of free snacks. I couldn't resist and began to help myself when suddenly a 16 ton weight came crashing down. Thankfully I sidestepped it at the last second. "BEEP BEEP"
Meep Meep!
How many times did he say coyote?
Enough times. 🐾
It's the den with the coyote(s) in it. 😀
Haha. Thanks for your feedback!
We have a draw and the coyotes have been howling and yipping there for many decades.
Hey Molly, that's awesome!
It has now dawned on me wile e coyote is actually a coyote
Yuuup 🐾
I want to find one so I can make some pets
That would be a pretty wild pet! 🐾
I got to help a government trapper dig up a couple of coyote dens. The guy was the best tracker I've ever seen. In sheep country, the only good coyote is a dead coyote. I've killed about 100, but they just keep coming.
Thanks for your feedback.
Get a good livestock dog. I had an Australian Shepherd and never lost any livestock to coyotes.
@@ninalee8625 You never grazed 1,000 head on heavily timbered national forest, infested with bear, mtn lion, and coyotes, I'll bet.
@@jeffd1919 I've never I owned that many livestock, but I lived in closed proximity to those ranchers and we didn't agree on much except we liked living in a remote area. There was a smaller ranch with maybe 100 cattle being managed by two Anatolian Shepherds with little interaction with their humans that claimed to not have coyote trouble. I don't know how you determine how many dogs per head, but the dogs seem to take their jobs pretty seriously.
@@ninalee8625 Thats what I do! I have never even seen a coyote, but I sure hear them all around me every night.
My big muscular dog, does her job, sure its a commitment, but dogs have been the answer for centuries. She runs free, weighs about 100lbs and I am so thankful for her. She protects us. All of my dogs have always done the job, but I never have had a true livestock dog. As I dont have livestock perse, just cats and another small dog.
This was clearly made by AI and not very well at all. The images don’t track with the narration, which is clunky, repetitive, inefficient and unappealingly monotone.
You would have done much better to have put just a little bit of effort into this video.
Thanks for your feedback
This was a terrible production of a video. Basically didnt even see a den just a binch of pictures of coyotes .
Thanks for your feedback 🐾
Dude, there were several pictures. Did you actually watch THIS video?
This will also help people kill them for fun. I wish you hadn’t made this public
Thanks for your feedback
Cmon Mia, get real! There are creeps globally who of course use info for less than noble means… but far greater numbers BENEFIT from that same info, for good! This was helpful to me, I as I live in a heavily, wooded suburb, where, PACKS of Coyotes are now competing for territory in! I’d never have known to look in a hollow tree stump. If the world lived by your logic, none of us would know anything… Helpful info wouldn’t be shared with the masses, out of fear a tiny few would misuse it. Your “but what if” logic promotes ignorance… is a threat to education… and guarantees that EVIL wins! Thanks @Assorted_Animals for maybe preventing the deaths of beloved pets as several of my neighbors already have, esp those letting their cats roam freely.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! ❤️
Disgusting, killing animals for fun.
@@mikes7446 one coyote kills many many more wildlife
