The Den is a place where you may relax and unwind. Coyotes only use dens voluntarily during pup season; otherwise, they prefer to sleep above ground in the open or in shelter. A hollowed-out tree stump, a rock outcrop, or an existing tunnel excavated by raccoons, skunks, or other medium-sized predators can all be used as a den.

What do coyotes do for a night’s sleep?

Do coyotes always sleep in the same spot?
