Persia Posted October 26, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2011 A new study in the Journal of Mammalogy proves that such interbreeding is taking place. Lead author Christine Bozarth of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and her colleagues collected coyote scat (aka poop) and conducted DNA studies on it. The DNA revealed that coyotes moving into Northern Virginia stopped along their route to breed with native Great Lakes wolves. http://news.discovery.com/animals/wolves-disappearing-halloween-111025.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is going on? Grizzlys and Polar Bears mating and now this. I have alot of Coyotes around my area and they look just like, well, Coyotes. I would think that the breeding would change their habits. Hmmmmm Thanks for the post and info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted October 26, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2011 That kind of thing tends to happen. It is one form of evolution. Soon the hunters will want to kill them because they are eating the deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
