Coywolves

Interesting fact: A coywolf is a hybrid between a coyote and a wolf. It’s bigger than a coyote but smaller than a wolf. Coywolves have teeth like wolves and they live among us like ninjas similar to coyotes. The coywolf is extremely intelligent and highly adaptable even in urban areas.

So what’s their story? To make a long story short, coywolves are an aftermath result of when wolves were exterminated by Europeans that invaded (yes, I use the word invaded) North America.

The incredible thing is that they are rarely seen, highly intelligent, and master adapters like coyotes. Coywolves also seem to be less fearful of humans. Scientist and people fear that this may be a problem in the future since they’re considered a new top predator and are okay with living in urban areas not minding us humans.

Who knows, if coywolves are extremely adaptable and as intelligent as scientists claim, why fear them? Couldn’t they learn to live alongside of us like their cousin, the dog?

Either way, they’re pretty cool. You can watch a full PBS documentary on the coywolf here.
