[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 148960, member: 2259"] Coyotes don't mystically have larger litters because the population is lower. The theory/myth has been around for years. The truth is when there is a lower population of coyotes in an area there is not as much competition for food hence there is more available prey food therefore the breeding female and her mate are in better body condition. This will biologically encourage the female to have more pups. The next step in population rebounding by a larger litter born is a the litter will have a lower mortality rate because the mother produces more milk and there is more food available in their area because of less competition. This is well proven research by biologists and trapping community alike. When environmental conditions are poor and/or female coyotes body condition is stressed or in poor condition she will not breed or will not raise a larger litter of pups. Mammals can also absorb fetuses during pregnancy when conditions are poor. The NDGF believed up until 20 years ago that coyotes didn't kill adult deer because they were not physically able. [/QUOTE]
