DescriptionLactating Female Coyote at Metzger Farm Open Space, Colorado (47687852811).jpg
This female coyote was hunting near the pond at Metzger Farm Open Space in Westminster and Broomfield, Colorado. She clearly has pups in a den somewhere. This is the same coyote that was relaxing in a safe area in the previous photo taken earlier on the same day.
The male coyote and usually one or two non-breeding females in the pack or family group help raise the pups, which allows the breeding female to hunt or relax.
