photos taken recently near Mars Hill NC.

Yote

Idk but he’s in rut.

Pretty short legs to be Wolves.

Look like coyotes to me…really HEALTHY coyotes…

Yep well fed coyotes


Or a Corgi/ wolf hybrid 🤔🙄

Coyote, pointed nose is a dead giveaway!

Thanks. look like wolves to me, but, i have never seen a wolf in person.

Yotes. Eastern Coyote is bigger and fluffier than a Western Coyote. I've heard somewhere that they think the Eastern Yote may have bred with a wolf a million years ago or some such schit. Not sure why there is a difference. I do know from experience that the Eastern model is about twice the size of the Western model.

Western Coyote (Texas)


Eastern Coyote (Maryland)

No black tail tip says woof. Tail lifted high too.

Pair of coyotes.

Yote.

Face is the giveaway.

Here’s three different dogs, you kind of should be able to get sense of scale

Not the biggest ones I’ve popped but fat n sassy

We throwed a couple of them mfers off into a cedar thicket where my nephew hunts. lol

Coyotes to me. We have both here.
Your yotes have crazy thick necks.

The theory I've read is that Canadian red wolves interbred with coyotes but not that long ago.
Here's an article that says that very recent DNA testing has revealed some in NC with a very high % of red wolf and one that appeared to be 100% wolf.
HYBRIDS

Corgi got his mama?
LOL

Coyote

This.

Fat coyotes

Red wolves were native to the southern states not Canada.

Aren't there some in North Carolina?

Looks like the coyotes here in the out skirts of Richmond Va.

When you see a mature stink dog you will know it. This photo doesn't do it justice but this was a 126 pound male.

Hey Roger—some years ago a biologist noticed that the wolves in Algonquin Park in Northeastern Ontario were considerably smaller than the wolves elsewhere in Ontario. He ran some DNA test and it turns out that those wolves (referred to locally as brush wolves) were almost an exact replica of what they were trying to produce in North Carolina Red Wolf project.

Small pointy head and short legs...I am calling coyote. A mature wolf has a head the size of a basketball.

No doubt here, Coyote. I've seen many of both.
