Orphaned coyote pups given new home at Virginia Living Museum

A pair of orphaned coyote pups have found a new home at the Virginia Living Museum after staff assessed they could not be safely returned to the wild.

The pups arrived at the San Diego Humane Society's Ramona Wildlife Centre as infants. Despite efforts to 'wild up' the animals by housing them with other coyotes and limiting human contact, authorities said both became too attached to people to survive on their own.
