Humans are not newcomers when it comes to messing around with nature. While we haven't created Frankenstein's monster yet, what we do transforms the natural world.

One recent example is the creation of the coywolf — a hybrid of the coyote and the wolf that is also known as the Eastern coyote. According to a new article from The Economist, their population seems to have reached more than a million.

These animals have a completely new genetic makeup: Their genes are about one-quarter wolf DNA and two-thirds coyote DNA; the rest is from domesticated dogs. A 2013 study suggests this dog DNA is mostly from a few specific breeds, including German Shepherds and Doberman Pincers.

Human activity likely played a role in the species' creation. As humans cut down wolves' forest homes and hunted down their populations, the lack of available partners for wolves led them to search elsewhere for mates, leading them to coyotes and dogs.

Sounds like Darwinian species replacement. For decades Man replaced those predators, now with a decline in hunting prey is up and a new predator is on the rise. Human nature is still nature.

2 years ago I was ice fishing until dark and watched one cross the lake.

It's a quiet lake with no houses built around it.
I could tell by it's walk it wasn't a dog ,I was sitting on a bucket on the shore line and it never even saw me.

Pretty cool to see

They are "BANG!" quick learners, once you "BANG BANG!" feed them they know what to "BANG" expect.
They are watching "BANG!" us, and "BANG BANG BANG!!" learning from us.


Oh how can we ever stop them?

The problem is not confined to the NE, I had a coydog sniffing around my shop last week in the middle of the day. Looked just like a coyote in the body, just bigger and much longer legs. My shop is in the hood, I hope the coyotes don't cross with all the pit bulls, that would be an abomination.

Saw my first two over 30 years ago in western NY.  Road kills.  I have a friend who traps and he has gotten quite a few over the last several years.  They average about 75 pounds, but a few have hit the 100 pound mark.

We have big problems with mountian lions and are overrun with coyotes. Now we have wolves in Ca.

Our deer population doesn't have a chance. Wasn't great to begin with since I started hunting.

Yes coyotes are larger here, so are deer, maybe it's just because we are missing an alpha predator in the food chain so coyotes get more food and deer get eaten less......

There are in eastern Canada. Which is where this new hybrid ( since 1919 ) have come from.

Im going with this

I killed some strange looking strays in new haven back in 06.They roamed the old winchester factory courtyard by science park, where I worked. Looked like a mix of husky, Shepard, and yote. Big nasty sob. His pack ranged in species but a bunch looked like that mix.

I killed a 70lbs yote last year here in RI. My dog ran him for an hour and a half before he circled back around.

Id need a lot of evidence proving it was part wolf. We have a lot of 220lbs+ deer here. They need bigger yotes.

I often saw them around the Elk Lake Lodge near Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks in the 1960's and 79s; they were more like wolves in size and appearance than anything else.

The locals called them wolves.
