Home range of northern Michigan coywolf (Canis latrans x Canis lupus).
Field Mammalogy A coyote-wolf hybrid (Canis latrans x Canis lupus) was collared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 2010. The coywolf has displayed many aspects of the behavior of a wolf, hunting in packs to bring down large prey. In the winter of 2015-2016 a photograph suggested that...

The coywolf has displayed many aspects of the behavior of a wolf, hunting in packs to bring down large prey. In the winter of 2015-2016 a photograph suggested that the coywolf had lost a forefoot.

These predictions were confirmed; the hunting range decreased, and habitat preference switched to be more open, less forested areas (p < 0.05). http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/136106/1/Gilbert_Bradley_2016.pdf Report Canis lupus University of Michigan: Deep Blue |
