It takes a game biologist, not a game warden to difinitively make that call. I highly doubt this story. Put it in the category of cougars in Maryland!!
In fact, send us the link to the newspaper article/story. Surely the media was notified. Y,R!
Yes youre right. If they arent coyotes, or wolves, then theyre most definately monkeys.
No stories have shown up in the newspaper about it, but I'll tell you one thing... It doesnt take a genius to tell the difference between a coyote and a wolf.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. government took gray wolves living near the Great Lakes off its list of endangered species on Monday and also proposed removing protections for similar wolves near the Rocky Mountains.
The Interior Department last March determined about 4,000 gray wolves lived in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, up from between 700 and 1,000 when the animal was classified as endangered more than 30 years ago.
The wolves, who also live in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, INDIANA and Ohio, have now officially been scratched off the list that identifies animals and plants at risk of extinction.

Red wolves, which have been reintroduced to eastern Tennessee and North Carolina, would not be affected by the review, nor would wolves in Alaska, which have never been Federally listed as endangered or threatened.
