Here is another instance of intimidation by one coyote over its sibling. I was watching the dominant coyote sibling when he spotted his sibling and approached hackles up. The less dominant coyote retreated into the bushes for protection. The dominant coyote went no further, but licked his chops and moved on, and that was the end of the spat. Both coyotes then continued their meanderings, but at a distance from each other.
