How many babies does a female coyotes have?

A female coyote usually gives birth to a litter of 5 to 6 pups, although litter sizes can range from 1 to 12. The pups are born in a den that the female has dug or found, and they are typically born in the spring. The pups are born blind and helpless, and they rely on their mother for food and protection. They begin to open their eyes after about a week, and they are able to walk and run after about 3 weeks. The pups are weaned by the time they are about 2 months old, and they typically leave the den at around 6 months of age.
