Meet the Coywolf

[Catherine]

I don't think they have any idea how many Coywolves there are. The fact that they are in New York and Toronto means they have a wide range and are well established. I think they are more of a semi-urban wild animal. Also they have been around for longer than we realize. They are not just a few wolf coyote crosses. They have been breeding as a separate species for enough generations to actually be considered a species.

People will have to be more careful with their dogs and cats. The Coywolves seem to consider the urban areas their territory. Maybe they will be like our city squirrels and racoons. They have adapted to sharing space with us. We have had to adapt to sharing space with them. If you leave an unscreened window open you will wake up to ha house full of racoons helping themselves to your food. They can open jars, but so far cans defeat them.

Who knows what ways the Coywolves will adapt.
