Primarily, to announce their territory and determine if other coyotes' control territory near their own (e.g. a coyote will howl and then listen for other coyotes to howl back -- if he hears another coyote to the West, than he knows that the land to the West is patrolled and "owned' by a different coyote, and he will respect that coyote's boundaries). They also howl to call their family members back after they split up to hunt. for more info about it go to wikianswers.com/why do coyotes howl :) ;)

Probably for communication, like wolves. Yes. I am not aware of any evidence that coyotes (or dogs or wolves) howl at the moon. A brighter moon provides more nocturnal illumination, which allows the animals to become more active. They therefore communicate more. [Other explanations: (1) the moon is their god, and their howls are prayers or invocations; (2) the lone moon inspires feelings of mournful, soulful longing, which they express through piercing, evocative howls; and (3) they want to eat the moon and can't, which makes them cry out in frustration.]

Coyotes howl to communicate with others that may be around. They normally howl when there is prey or to tell others to stay away!

This is what they do when they need to find each other or if they are agitated

or excited about something. Usually a hunt.
