What is a baby coyote called?

A baby coyote is called a pup or a kit. The female coyote gives birth to a litter of 4 to 6 pups in a den, typically in the spring or early summer. The pups weigh around 8 to 12 ounces at birth and are born blind and helpless. They depend solely on their mother for care and survival.

As the pups grow, they become more active and start to explore their surroundings. They develop their sense of smell, hearing, and sight, and begin to play and interact with their littermates. The mother coyote hunts and brings back food for her pups, teaching them how to hunt and scavenge on their own.

By the time the pups are around 8 to 12 weeks old, they are weaned and ready to leave the den with their mother. They continue to learn important survival skills from their mother and become more independent as they grow older.

Baby coyotes are adorable and can be seen playing and running around in open areas around sunset or sunrise as they follow their mother in search of food. However, it is important to remember that they are wild animals, and people should never approach or try to interact with them.
