Coyote
(Canis latrans)
Despite decimating control efforts brought upon by the livestock industry, the coyote population remains stable. This furbearer occurs at all elevations. Den sites vary greatly. Breeding occurs from January-March. After a 63 day gestation period, an average of 6 young are born in April and May. Eyes open after 9 to 14 days. They are weaned after 6 weeks and disperse from the den after 6-9 months. Coyotes are opportunistic feeders but show a preference for rabbits and hares.
