Coyote family caught on cam underneath Lake Tahoe home

A mother coyote and her babies took up residence under a home, and it's making for some interesting video.

Six coyote pups and mom are shown in a feeding frenzy thanks to a special coyote candid camera set up by Lake Tahoe nature lover Toogee Sielsch.

"It was just a bit of luck," He said.

That luck struck when mom picked this home as her den. The homeowner called Sielsch to help get her out.

"And I explained to him that trying to, to get that family to move to another site would probably be fatal for a number of those pups," he said.

Instead of moving the family, Sielsch made movies of the family.

"And I was trying to have as little impact on their world as possible," he said. "My camera was very small. This has been one of the most amazing learning experiences I've ever had with any wildlife species."

The videos recorded over two weeks show mom refereeing play fights. It also shows how long she spent gone, 16 hours a day hunting for food.

You can see how hard it is and how much work mom puts into raising pups.

The closeup look chronicling the lives of the coyote family is giving a glimpse into a wildlife wonder.

"It's such a secretive affair for coyote, birthing dens, and to be able to have, you know, to document it day in and day out 24 hours a day ... it just makes me so excited," Sielsch said.
