Sure. Right up until the day that someone registers it on the Net at large. As of March 2021, the IANA root database includes 1589 TLDs. "den" is not currently one of them, but that could change at any point, and then there would be a high likelihood of "coyote.den" being registered by someone else. You might not have a specific problem with that, depending on how you do local DNS, and depending on what you want. But it's safer to either use a recognized internal domain (home.arpa, for instance) or a domain that you own, either with split views or unpublished internal subdomains (internal.randomstring.org, for example). -dsr-
