One scenario that sticks in my head, as hard to believe. Is neighboring territorial non-related coyotes banding together to hunt large prey. Such as deer, ect.


Seeing 1st hand local pr's advancing on a lone tresspasser. Et seeing that tresspasser flee. Leaves me to believe tresspassing overrides, the so-called non-related group hunting & or tolerance.



IMO, if/when non-related territorial groups end up killing/feeding on a large prey kill. I suspect that happens if/when that prey was killed on a [territory buffer overlap/ no-mans land] area. Between neighboring family groups territory. Thus, that may be why alpha pr's will tolerate non-related coyotes. On these outer territorial fringe areas.


Otherwise these neighboring non-related family groups would been seen together interacting more often.


I do believe if/when neighboring family groups do hunt together. Is based mainly upon, that they are related vs non-related.
