Movements of Breeding Coyotes with Emphasis on Den Site Relationships

Abstract
The movements of seven coyotes in relation to den sites and the spatial interactions of four of the coyotes, two mated pairs, were investigated with radio-telemetry in southeastern Nebraska. Coyotes involved in rearing pups generally increased their activity around den sites from prebreeding through breeding, gestation, nursing, and early pup training periods. Strong social bonds were evident in one mated pair from January through October 1976 and in another pair from July 1977 through June 1978.
