Red wolf returns

[Jimmypop]

It's been a couple years since I've got a picture of one.

Based on my personal studies and observations over the last 30 years, I agree with you. When the prey base populations rose, the predator population returned with them. The red wolf was one of those predators.

Hard to tell. Looks by like ole Wily Coyote wearing a pretty fur coat to me.

A genetic study says different. Several of them, in fact. Our eastern canine hybrids are not coyotes, though they have coyote as part of their genetic makeup. Full-blooded coyotes out west don't have variations like that, and are half the size of ours, and don't run in packs.

He has his ears dialed in on something tasty in the high grass.

What about this thing? I don't have a comparison photo but I thought he was just the biggest coyote I had ever seen. Thought is was somebody German Shepard at first lol.

That is a big coyote/ red wolf/ coy dog or whatever anyone wants to call them .
I call them all coyotes, and enjoy outsmarting them . Especially trying to make him put his foot in a couple inch circle . And even though a lot of people disagree I feel like I’m helping the wildlife in my area .

About the people who find trapping distasteful...well, I just say that you can't fix stupid.

He looks like he wants you to pet him.

Man there’s no doubt there’s some red wolf in our coyotes. Just look at the coyotes in this thread. I mean, not even a western coyote in full winter coat looks like these.
