Index of Subjects As Jim says, it is quite variable in appearance.. size (weight) and skull would help . Regarding its status. here is the paper in Canadian Field Naturalist http://canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/index.php/cfn/article/view/1400 http://canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/index.php/cfn/article/view/1400 Andrew ________________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] on behalf of Keith Lowe [mythos25@live.com] Sent: November-12-15 5:15 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [PROBABLE-SPAM] [NatureNS] Coyote, Eastern Coyote, Coywolf or what? I snapped the pic at the link below while birding the Wolfville Rail Trail West yesterday. Can we tell from this pic what it is exactly? I would think it is a coywolf but is that even an official designation? I searched other pictures of coywolf and coyotes and this one does seem to more closely match coywolf but there is also quite a range in the look of coywolf, presumably depending on the mix of coyote/wolf/dog. Also is German Shepherd the only dog that can be in the mix of coywolf? Can we tell what mix this one is? It was behaving more like coyote than dog. The pic was taken with a 400 mm lens so it was quite far off the trail (100+ meters I believe) and didn’t come any closer. It walked parallel to the trail in the same direction I was going for a while and it knew I was watching and it kept its distance. http://1drv.ms/1RRPZhB Keith Lowe
