Wolf and Coyote Walking Together at Yellowstone NP

[AMRavenF]

omg r all wolves that big??? cuz that one looks gigantic, maybe that because its next to the coy but idk

[royalgarnet]

The coyote ad wolf both might have gotten seperated from its family and found eachother, and the might have mistaken eachother for one of their own.

[stealthc15]

There is no need for wolves in todays world. All you tree huggers think they are some cuddly pets when all there good for is depleating wild populations. Having a few wolves around won't hurt the ecosystem but keeping them on the endangered list and not managing them is where the problem is. Wolves just like other predators in the u.s. need to be harvested on an annual basis to keep populations in check.

[Zedblar91]

@stealthc15 People like you have less rights on this planet than the Wolves. I'm nowhere near a treehugger, I absolutely love hunting and I hate vegetables with a passion. But guess what? Wolves are cuddly pets, when you train them. Where do you think Dogs come from? Why do you think there's such a large number of families with them as pets, including a very close friend of mine with 2? A few wolves doesn't come close to doing more damage to wild populations than we Humans do, simply littering.

[lyken88]

yea red wolfs breed with coyote

[fpadilla671]

is it possible for wolves and coyotes to breed with each other in the wild

[1verstreate1]

Yes. As it is for dogs and coyotes, and wolves and dogs.

[Siruka]

Yes, some of the larger coyotes in the eastern U.S. have been found to be part wolf. The hybrids are generally called "coywolves." This has probably become more common as wolves have become more scarce due to human encroachment and coyotes have become more common.

[PBTvids]

@fpadilla671 your wrong cuz i was sleeping over my friends in oregon and thier was a coyote in the pack of wolves and she was pregnant

[fpadilla671]

@PBTvids it was a question

[Bacon55481]

@fpadilla671 yes

[pfalky2k]

@fpadilla671 possible. unlikely. that's like saying a tiger could breed with a leopard. they'll have enough genes in common that they could THEORETICALLY mate & produce young. but in their natural setting, if they weren't ignoring each other, the bigger dog would kill the smaller one.

[blacktimberw]

@pfalky2k Wolves & coyotes are closely related & could produce fertile hybrids.....wolves decended from coyotes, they seperated from them about a million years ago & became larger & more social......before the arrival of man, wolves had the largest distribution of any mammal, & occupied most of the northen hemisphere.

But as you said, in the wild, the chances of the 2 mating, are as about thin as are the chances of man stopping his relentless extermination of the wolf, in other words 0.

[nobodykh]

@fpadilla671 they do just look up coywolf on google

[TauCetiAlpha]

@fpadilla671 Yes it is. Coyotes in Maine are much larger than these and in some cases have greater than 50% wolf genetics.

[meatball15683]

it is unlikely that there are wolves in the eastern US. There are wolves in eastern Canada however. I suppose there could be some in Maine? Coyotes are all over the place though.

[sehoujay]

My 53 pound Pitbull and my 75 pound Doberman completely destroyed and dismembered a coyote here is Texas.The coyote which was a male put up a good fight at first with my pitbull but when I saw the coyote getting the upper hand I immediately ran and got my Doberman and together they did a number on him.

[Loradreamx]

Why didn't you just scare the coyote or something,it's not right to kill a coyote.Besides...Why are you sharing this with us?

[sehoujay]

The freaking coyote killed my chickens.That was when I used to keep my dogs in a kennel,so what I did was I put a stake on the floor and tied a small rope in the chickens leg.I waited for hours until a coyote came from the woods and killed the chicken.Thats when I got my pitbull to chase him,but the coyote didn't run,instead he decided to fight,I thought my pit would take him,but the coyote was getting the upper hand,thats when I made the decision to let my Doberman loose to save his buddy.

[joking84]

I am surprised your pit didn't take him. If he was bigger i bet he would have.

[SecksTheSniper]

That's really surprising that a coyote wouldn't run from a dog charging at him, unless he was cornered. Maybe he had rabies, because that's unusual behavior. You might want to get your dogs checked.

[sehoujay]

I think he was the alpha male or he was really hungry because he was still eating the chicken.Or I believe he didn't see my pitbull charging at him in time to make a run, so he decided to stand his ground.

[Nacho773]

Haha, stupid country hick.

[nobabiesforyou]

why post that comment here?

ive said this to other people so i know how to answer you back

[NunyerDamnBusiness]

@sehoujay

And you're bragging about this because..?

I hope you're not one of those fools who use heir "macho" dogs as an extention for your "fifth limb."

[Loradreamx]

Ay,I can totally tell the differance between the wolf and the coyote,the wolf is way bigger and bulgier,and the wolf is smaller and has such shorter hair

[aveng006]

ok i see now the difference between a wolf and a wolf!

[Loradreamx]

my bad the second one is the cayote XD

[Retrieverman1]

It's only with big western wolves and small Western coyote that the distinctions are that clear. If you take a wolf from Quebec and a coyote from Quebec, well, the similarities are awfully subtle. The Wolves of the East tend to be smaller, while the coyotes of the East tend to be larger. Canis lupus lycaon or Canis lycaon (Eastern race of wolves) are smaller than the western and Arctic wolves, weighing about 85 pounds at most. A big Eastern coyote is about 70 pounds.

[cateyes221981]

there are no pure wolves in the east

[Laiyokii]

But there still ARE wolves in the east, pure or not.

[cateyes221981]

they are not REAL wolves they are coyotes for god sakes

the red wolf coyote hibrids of the east are NOT true wolves like u see in the video here

[Laiyokii]

ONE of them is a wolf, st00pido. As you can CLEARLY see in this particular video, one of them is a wolf. And how do you know there are absolutely zero pure wolves in the East, did you like hold a candle to each of them as they mated or something? Gimme a break. Also, some- wolves could have been migrating there from other places too, you know. Its not like theyre glued to one spot by their tails.

[guahould]

@Laiyokii I would tend to think that no wolfs could cross the St. Lawrence River ,, Lake Ontario ,, Lake Erie ,, Niagara river ,, or any of the other great lakes borders in the East ,, this would most certainly keep the wolves from migrating to these areas and if you go west of the Great Lakes,, you are no longer in the " East".. and ,, with all the gun happy folks down that way I`m sure any stragglers have long been eliminated...

[weazle9844]

wow cateyes221981 you clarely do not realize that this is a national park so scientists could have put wolves there

[pfalky2k]

@Laiyokii that's the usual BS warcry of animal abusers. we have them in scotland where the wildcat is proteceted. the triggerhappy sociopathic gun freaks like to defend their murdering by claiming they aren't killing any "protected" cats but rather just wild/domestic crossbreds. either way. they're a coward shower of future mass murderers, rapists & child molestors, as ALL animal abusers progress onto. they should ALL be rounded up & gassed (animal abusers. NOT animals)

[blacktimberw]

@pfalky2k I can understand your anger towards hunters & animal abusers but saying they are or turn onto rapists or child molesters renders your argument ridiculous.......try to put foreward reasoned arguments, & less emotivity, then people will take you more seriously......as for gassing the animal abusers, I'm with you.

[reubensutherland29]

@cateyes221981 That`s true about no pure wolves or the ones that are are small like european wolves but..where I live in northern ontario by James Bay, there are no roads to get here and the wolves that are around here are huge! Lots of them too and I`d say the big males get 150 pounds easy, but they are beasts and rival any big wolves anywhere in the world..This area`s wolves would be a naturalsits dream to shoot some footage, there are so many of them around.

[thoughtsoftheforest]

That was great!
