Catskill Mountain coyotes are truly COYWOLVES

My friend Frank Carbone lives in the Southern Catskill Mountains in New York State. Frank has trail cameras set up on his property and is constantly recording the wildlife on his property. As Massachusetts Biologist Jon Way calls them..............Eastern Coyotes are truly COYWOLVES.............a mix and hybridization of our Eastern Wolf(C.lycayon) and Western Coyote(C. latrans)...............Larger in size by a good 10 pounds than coyotes found in the Midwest and Western States and truly wolf looking in appearance and "swagger"...............sometimes packing up and becoming an efficient predator of deer(fawns as well as adults). Take a look at Frank's outstanding pictures that his cameras recently caught of the top dog in the East.................................COYWOLVES!
