Love is in the Air
Did you know that up to 90% of bird species are monogamous which means only having one partner for life? When it comes to mammals, only about 5% of them stick to the same mate each breeding season. One such animal is the coyote (Canis latrans) a close, smaller relative to the wolf which also is known to be monogamous. The coyote mating season lasts from late February to early March. At that time up to seven potential suitors will follow the female around for a month until she chooses one and rejects the rest. Once the bond is formed, coyote pairs are strictly monogamous.
Other interesting coyote facts:
- There are currently 19 recognized subspecies of coyotes
- A coyote can run up to 40 miles per hour
- Coyotes will tiptoe to make as little noise as possible
- If you see an animal running and you don’t know if it’s a dog or coyote, just look at the tail. Dogs will run with their tails up and coyotes run with their tails down
- Coyotes first appeared in the fossil records 850,000 years ago
- 2 out of 750,000 coyotes are albinos.
Make It Yourself
Coyotes do not like loud noises like alarms and sirens. If you don’t have those readily available at your cabin, you can make yourself a coyote shaker. Although a coyote shaker is not fool proof, it should startle the coyote. Click the words below for quick and easy directions how.
