When we were in Yellowstone a few years back, one of the guides we talked to said the reintroduced wolves reduced the coyote population very quickly, getting rid of the competition. I guess she was telling us the truth.

(not that I'm a fan of wolf reintroduction you understand)


As I understand the party line in eastern Canada is that wolf populations got very small, coyotes moved in, and some lonely female wolves in heat got impregnated. In other words, Huntsman22 is correct as usual. Sounds good anyway.
