She wasn't "feral" she WAS an animal.

Coyotes are pretty smart as canines go and she is a very old coyote.

Add to that her human brain and her ability to think like a human during all that time and you've got a very mature creature, long capable of producing/nurturing offspring and avoiding the dangers presented by humans/other animals.

While she might not be up on all the current pop culture references - she had a basic understanding of our culture going in to her "isolation" and that would allow her to reintegrate pretty quickly.

I don't know why people continue to equate "Animal" with "Stupid" when there is sooooo much research showing the opposite is true.
