Recently there have been reports that coywolf hybrids are in Durham Region.
Wolves are usually predators of coyotes but some larger coyotes intermingle with wolves. Coyotes are extremely adaptable and excellent swimmers. They live on small mammals, and in the summer much of their diet may consist of berries. The coywolf will prey on larger mammals, often eat deer, and should be taken somewhat more seriously. While attacks of coyotes or wolves on humans are extremely rare, anytime you find yourself between a predatory animal and its young or its food, it would be wise to quietly back away.
A number of reports on a wolf-like animals in Altona Forest have come out over the last four years. Now there is photographic evidence of this animal wandering in our forest.
Several characteristics differentiate coywolves and coyotes. The coyote is smaller than a standard german shepherd, while a coywolf is larger. A coywolf often travels in a larger pack. The sounds they make are different, more harmonious, more like wolves.
