Coyote or Wolf

From what I've read, Coyotes in different parts of the USA have different genetic makeup. Eastern coyotes have more wolf gene, and southern coyotes have less. I think it's about the mating opportunities while population expansion happened...wolves do kill coyotes while both live in an area. Coyotes who go after your dog will do so when they are raising pups, so springtime is more dangerous for your dog.

Anyway...I live in the Adirondacks and have seen coyotes who resemble wolves. They can get to 65-70 lbs here, according to people who hunt.

My chickens live in Fort Knox, and don't free range when other food resources are scarce. They hate the snow anyway.
 
That is a coywolf it is not a wolf or a coyote its a red algonquin aka eastern wolf mixed with coyote blood. They are all over here in toronto probably in the thousands. TRUE wolves of north america have trouble living near humans the prey they need isnt enough here. THey might pass by after leaving a pack but thats it. We think we have a lot of deer it isnt enough to sustain wolves. COywolves will eat rats, cats, small dogs, garbage, and much better at handling human building. When construction happens they just go in and eat pets lol I have seen dogs kill them though so they are really wary. Thing is they can go sneak around in the dark and you wont know they are there. I am in canada. IN SOUTH part of america when i lived there i noticed coyotes that looked dog like. Probably feral dogs and coyotes might mix a bit. These arent issue for me though.
