Wisconsin State biologist Adrian Wydeven feels that "we are not seeing coyotes mate with wolves in the Great Lakes region"...................."Genetic research in our region shows that some of our wolves have some coyote genes, likely from hybridization from the historical past"................ "For the most part our wolves(Wisconsin) are a mix of smaller eastern wolves and the larger gray wolves"................. "We are not seeing breeding of coyotes on the landscape"......................"If you look at historical samples of the wolves, they were actually more predominately the smaller wolves earlier, and it's probably going more toward the larger gray wolves in part because, with the endangered species protection, wolves coming from Minnesota and those spreading from Ontario and Manitoba into Minnesota tend to be these larger gray wolves to the west".......... "That's what is spreading back into Wisconsin, so if anything it's probably tending toward more of the grayer wolf.".................
