when do coyotes have pups

Coyotes generally have pups in spring , most often in April, sometimes late March through May depending on region and climate.

Quick Scoop

• Most coyotes mate between January and March.

• Gestation is about 63 days, so pups are usually born in April or early May.

• Litters often range from 3–7 pups, though larger litters do occur.

• In many parts of North America, late March through May is commonly called “coyote pup season.”

A quick story-style picture

Think of a coyote pair starting to bond and mate in the cold weeks of late winter—January or February. By the time the first real warmth of spring arrives, those hidden den sites come alive with squeaks and tiny paws as the pups are born underground, usually around April. Over the next few weeks, they grow quickly, and by about three to four weeks old they begin tumbling out of the den entrance to explore the spring sunshine.
