Our observations (during tracking, helicopter flights, and trapping) have revealed that the coyotes in our study maintain territories as groups unless living as a solitary animal. Group size in protected habitats is typically five to six adults in addition to pups born that year. It is estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 coyotes may reside in Cook County, IL.
