HOMESTEAD (CBSMiami) – Everglades Outpost is caring for two orphaned coyotes that were located in the area of Homestead Airport.
A den was located with four pups but unfortunately two of them were deceased.
The rescued pups were severely dehydrated and hungry. They have since been named Axel and Beckett.
Everglades Outpost is assuming that the mother was killed because it is not in a coyote's nature to abandon her litter.
Coyotes are considered a naturalized species.
The outpost's goal is to rehabilitate the pups and release them, but first it must build an enclosure that meets state regulation. It must be at least 10 feet high and a minimum of 1000 square feet.
To help the facility provide the best care and life for the animals, you can visit their website to learn more or to donate.
