  • Chances are you've never seen a wolf-coyote hybrid called the coywolf but it has arrived in New York. "Meet the Coywolf," the latest documentary from PBS' Nature series, premiering on January 22 at 8pm on PBS stations nationwide, introduces us to the elusive canines. They originated in eastern Canada and are now emerging in New York City and on Long Island. Two wildlife biologists featured in the program, Mark Weckel of the American Museum of Natural History and Christopher Nagy of Mianus River Gorge Preserve, join Pi Roman to talk about tracking the hybrid species as part of their Gotham Coyote Project.

    I was attacked twice while walking my dogs in the woods. The first time was two coywolfs and the second time was three coywolfs. The coywolfs were about 50-60 pounds each. My dogs are large 100 pound Dobermans. Both attacks occurred in the spring. I think they were protecting pups. They were relentless, the first attack went on for about 20 minutes while they circled me while lunging at me. I stood my ground and fought them off with a large stick then slowly walking away.

      Just curious, were your dogs off leash? Did they fight the coyotes? I worry because where I live, they are everywhere, although very stealth. But I've seen them crossing my path, both day and night. They ignored me and my dogs, but they were on leash. When I had them off leash playing, I heard one close, but couldn't see it. I thought cool to hear one howl so close, until I heard a large pack answering, so I got me and my dogs out of there. So glad you got away from the attacking coyotes.

      I feel the same way . I’ve had cattle,sheep,horses even free range chickens on my farm in upstate New York and never had a coyote or coy wolf bother any of them . They are all over . You can hear their Erie screams and yelping in the dark of night . They are to busy killing and eating young deer that are abundant in the area. There has been a problem lately with them eating people’s cats and some small dogs . They actually just recently killed a pet cat of ours that was loved and will be missed . But I guess he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But like I said they never bothered any livestock. And they are in the pastures all during the night without any protection. If they ever do kill any livestock then the war will begin.

      I grew up in central Kansas and rarely saw a coyote though farmers around us were adamant about hunting them down for supposedly tackling and ruining a few head of livestock, mostly sheep. Turned out that it was dog packs doing the damage. Fast forward to last year, I photographed a coyote checking out the perimeter of my m.h. lot during the winter where I left out a bit of kibble for the raccoons. I don't mind them though I know they could take a domestic cat if they should come upon one the right way.

      Other than the coyotes is it the same with wolves as you said yer not worried about livestock, here in Ireland the reintroduction of the grey wolf is stuck behind red tap because of fears by farmers, developers basically the whole animal agricultural industry. The reintroduction of the white tailed eagle was met with negativity from farmers who blamed the predators for attacking sheep when it was actually stray dogs. Farmers kept poisoning the birds in retaliation because they were blamed for the dogs killing livestock. Ireland's natural heritage has been severely damaged by farming, it sad really.

    The two young men are right. It's an Eastern Coyote. Eastern Coyotes have some genetic endowments from eastern wolves (The Adirondack Red wolf according to some experts), but they are primarily Coyotes. When I first heard of them in Maine, they were called Coydogs, then eventually Coyotes, or Eastern Coyotes.

    Here in northern New England, we have Coyotes and Wolves. And then... we have the "Coydog". A Coydog is exactly as its name implies. Coyotes that have mated with wild/feral dogs result in the creation of the Coydog.
    Coydogs look so much like domesticated dogs that people have been known to become seriously attacked/bitten when the person attempted to approach one.
    Each winter, New England states such as Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire experience several heavy snow storms a year that can average up 6 feet or more of snow per season. In the state of New Hampshire alone, there is currently more than 86% of completely undeveloped and, UNINHABITED woodlands. Some of the woods have never been seen nor, touched by man!
    You'd think this would provide plenty of food for the Coydog as well as the Coyote. However, the deep snows, combined with several weeks of artic below zero temperatures including, extreme wind-chills, makes hunting for food nearly impossible. These predators KNOW exactly where to find food that is readily and, easily accessible.
    And, they know: "Where there's people, there is food!" Therefore, they will purposely SEEK out and HUNT down ANY animal or pet that could make a quick, easy meal. They can, and most definitely will take down and kill a much larger dog, too if they're starving and, hunting in a pack. I, personally have watched a pack of 6 starving Coyotes chase a healthly adult moose through the heavy snow until it finally collapsed from exhaustion in a field just behind my home. It is rare they'll take such a large animal but, they will oftentimes chase down their favorite food. The large numbers of healthy deer taken by coyotes and coydogs per season, seriously affects the herd by depleting their overall population.
    So, if you still believe a Coyote, Coydog or, Coywolf won't kill Spot or, Fluffy if they were left outside.....think again!,

After all, man has the ability to tame. And we can domesticate coyotes if we do it long enough. We're doing it with foxes now after all

      +computer5251 : In my 40 years of walking my Dobermans in Milwaukee, never ever had issues with foxes or coyotes. I love seeing them (they are so beautiful) and my dogs and they just looked at each other. I always thought my dogs were safe because they weighed 85+ pounds. Well, that changed 10 days ago. Yote ran out onto a path in a park and attacked my 90 pound Doberman that was minding his own business. It's way past denning season. In my 40 years of walking my dogs, I've NEVER seen this kind of aggression. My dog got a couple deep bites on his neck, but he grabbed the yote by the neck a couple of times and was shaking it. I went nuts and went into the fray yelling, screaming, waving my arms. Too bad there were no big sticks around. Yote finally ran off. I have a CC permit. I'm going to CC from now on. My dog is a therapy dog and has never bothered anyone or anything. My opinion has drastically changed. There has been insane development in the area (Zoo Interchange) the past couple of years. The animals are getting squeezed. So I blame the greedy pig developers more than anything.

    I live in eastern Tennessee and had a red wolf as a pet for 13 + years. I just recently had to put her down 'cause she had Cushings Disease. She went outside to go to the bathroom, fell down and could not get back up. So I had to put her down. I sure miss her as she was a unique animal. Her tail touched the ground and she moved in a cat like movement and had razor sharp thin claws on both front and back feet. She was raised at about 6 months til her death around our other dogs. She always fought with other female dogs so we had to keep her with the male dogs. That alpha female instinct always made her tangle with other females. Keisha was her name and she hardly ever barked. She would whine at night wanting to come in the living room with me. I really miss her! The first time we took her to the vet, he commented on what species she really was (you could not own a wolf in Tennessee) so he recorded her as a Belgian Shepard.

      DiaPERoDOL I suspect you are following the outmoded idea that by definition two (or more) species can never produce fertile offspring. That is incorrect. Polar bears and grizzly bears are interbreeding -- and producing fertile offspring. Humans are hybrids: modern Europeans carry Neantherthal genes, and modern east Asians carry Denisovan genes. (Very small percentages in both cases.) Wolves and coyotes CAN interbreed and produce fertile offspring, as can jackals. Foxes, which belong to different genera than Canis, cannot interbreed successfully with coyotes, wolves, dogs or jackals.
      "Red wolves, gray wolves, domestic dogs and coyotes are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Social structures and territoriality usually prevent such interbreeding." from: website of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, "Red Wolf Recovery Program"
      "These hybrids, known as coywolves, or wolfotes, are produced in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada, wherever wolves and coyotes come into contact. They are fertile in both sexes." from website of
      macroevolution.net "Coyote-wolf hybrids" page by Eugene M. McCarthy, PhD genetics
      "Though coyotes, dogs and wolves are so closely related to each other that they can interbreed and have fertile hybrid offspring, there are enough differences between the three species to distinguish them when close observation is possible." from wolfpark.org, webpage of Wolf Park, an Indiana nature park which includes wolves, coyotes and other species
      "In 2014, a DNA study of northeastern coyotes showed them on average to be a hybrid of western coyote (62%), western wolf (14%), eastern wolf (13%), and domestic dog (11%) in their nuclear genome. The hybrid swarm extended into the midwestern United States, with Ohio coyotes shown on average to be a hybrid of western coyote (66%), western wolf (11%), eastern wolf (12%), and domestic dog (10%) in their nuclear genome.[1" Wikipedia

    Their so interesting and when you see them out in parks they almost look like someone's Sheppard that's off the leash. I live on the edge of Lake Ontario in Canada and they run along the waterways during the day in the winter and are often close to other people walking their dogs and not bothered by us. I was walking someone's dog one day, and a big one ran past me and into a trail, no more then 10 meters away. I hollered to warn the guy in the trail that didn't see him coming and try to scare off the Coywolf. The coywolf just jumped into the brush and paied no attention to any of us. Our area was trying to capture A couple because they had mainge and where looking sickly. The one I saw was definitely looking sick. From a distance it almost looked like a sick fox only huge.

    The Eastern coyote is the coywolf hybrid. When the first settlers came to the New World in eastern Canada and the USA during the 1600's, they started killing off the Grey wolf population. However, the coyotes thrived. The few remaining wolves bred with the coyote population creating the coywolf hybrid and the purer specimens are the Red Wolves which only a few hundred individuals exist in the National Alquonquin park that straddles the Ontario-Québec border. The eastern coyotes are larger, bolder and I have come face to face with 80lb specimens in the woods where I live. One of my own dogs is a coydog (eastern coyote x GSH) you can see him on my channel. His behaviour is closer to a coyote than a dog, very wary of humans, larger sharper teeth than a dog with a wily, intelligence and the indepedance of a cat.

Sure I was scared, but he/she was just posturing for me to keep riding my bike. I did. NO PROBLEM. The 2nd encounter involved my 3 dogs near a wooded area. My older border collie (11) was off leash and less than 5 feet away from the coywolf who came out from the woods. He/she did not attack my older border collie. She came right to me and my 2 other dogs unharmed. The coywolf again postured for us to leave. We did. NO PROBLEM.
      Maybe if they sense you are going to harm or kill them, they will attack. So would humans.
      You have to give them their space to be wild.

If you have no problem with cats being the third biggest cause of song bird declines, you can't really complain when a coyote eats your cat. Specially when there are millions of cats, and only so many coyotes. And yes, I did have cats, I loved them. That's why I only let them out in supervised outdoor adventures.

    We've had coyotes in my state for years before they finally spotted one. They're extraordinarily stealthy and sneaky. I've never seen one myself. Coyotes are far more comfortable around people than wolves are. They don't fear humans in the same way, which is why they can live in suburban areas. And also why people should keep their distance. Coyotes aren't naturally vicious or violent and will flee from you if you try to approach, but a cornered animal can be a dangerous one. That goes for most carnivores as well as deer. It should also be noted DOGS ARE MORE DANGEROUS on average. The most animal attacks in the US are from dogs. In general you have nothing to fear from coyotes. Just practice common sense.

    Thanks for setting the record straight on the percentage mixture of coyote/wolf and that it is not, as I have heard before, a new breed of 50% coyote/50% wolf. I have seen pictures & videos of Canadian coywolves that look more like wolves than your Eastern ones, which definitely show more coyote tendencies. Out here in the west (Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, etc.) we do not have coywolves. That may eventually change, now that they have introduced wolves into Colorado. Coyotes have become a danger, especially in the Denver area and even some of the smaller cities in that they are bold enough to attack and take small dogs when on a leash with a person, or stalk small children in their yards. Many of our wildlife departments are educating people on how to deal with coyotes when they see them. Hazing them, as you point out, and not trying to befriend them is the best thing and people really DO need to be aware that they can be dangerous. Thanks for a good video and good luck on your further studies!

My father used be a texas government trapper. And he would have to go to these college meetings where science studies had been done on coyotes for 15 years. And the coyote had populated from the west to here, and started breeding with red wolves.
    My father was stunned, as was i, we had assumed like most, that man had put the red wolf on the endangered list. But DNA test, showed just the opposite. That is why you'll find coyotes here in east texas, with thick coats and a little larger than most.

    They can smell sheep from miles away... Apparently they moved to where there were more sheep. The Coywolf should fit in perfectly with another hybrid that exists in NYC... Sheeple.

      Yes well there was actually a now extinct domesticated dog breed in America that is actually believed and most likely to be a coyote. Although some believe it may have been a coydog or a coyote like dog, people are now bringing thoughts to believe it was actually pure coyote entirely. This dog was called the Hare Indian Dog, which sounded and acted much like a coyote.

    The entire program was on my local PBS station the other night. It was very interesting. Maybe you can find it on the PBS website. I missed the very beginning, but I think it was about the woman who was killed on Cape Breton. You can find that program and other feature by this search: www.pbs.org/search/?q=coywolf

    Personally, I think it's all semantics. Coyotes can be thought of as a lesser wolf, basically. It's like a scooter and motorcycle. It's just a matter of size.

      +MariusThePaladin, I'm sorry, but I've owned a Shiba Inu and they look and act much more fox-like and cat-like than anything this coy-wolf does. The coy-wold has a distinctive wolf-like appearance As I said Shibis as look more like foxes (with a spitz tail), and the act very cat-like, including pouncing. The cosplay analogy more akin to Captain Lou Albano dressing up as Sailor Moon,. Sorry, but I must disagree with you.

      Yeah foxes in general will not bother people as they usually hunt prey smaller than them rabbits and other rodents just be careful foxes can contract rabies it's a rare disease but a dangerous one to all mammals rabies is carried in the saliva and spinal fluid as well as the brain where it destroys your nervous system and makes you usually aggressive it also Hibbetts your ability to separate swallowing and breathing so you usually choke on water this way you cannot dilute it

    don't fall into the fad of calling these coy wolf, the Eastern/New England Coyote has been in New England in it's current form since around the 40's There is a good book on the early research on them called "In search of the new England coyote" by Peter Anderson
    The term coywolf is a modern recent day invention designed to induce fear or to make them seem like something new and unique. Neither are true

      @J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams. 6 лет назад

      From a historical evolutionary perspective, they are considered "new". This is quite different than your interpretation of the word "new". The term "new" in this instance is not the same as say the "new" IPhone X.
      As for the coined nickname Coywolf; it's the simplest form of their scientific name people can understand. I don't think this was done to induce fear. If that was the case, why not say they are wolves with some coyote mixed in - a Wolfote. That name to a child or anyone with a fear of wolves would definitely strike fear.
      Additionally, I am surprised they didn't say the public should be alert and cautious with their domestic cats, small dogs, and their elderly medium to large dogs. Especially if there is a pack of Coywolf known in the area. Two such animals could be bold enough to take down what they see as a weak animal, if they were hungry enough. This is how they hunt in the wild. They take down or separate the weakest, either the slower young, sick, or an elderly member of the herd.
      Cheers.
