Default RE: mountain lions in NY??

i know this is to be about cats but, i dont know if it was a coydog or not. all i know is the thing kinda looks like a coyote, but barks like a dog, not a coyote bark and its not afraid of man..fact it comes at you.. and its 3 miles away from any house and its been there that i know of 6 weeks.... our coyote pop. has been around for a while also.. if i get it ill post pics and im taking it to the PGC and ill find out what it is..

Oh no, I hope we arent going to get started with the old coydog thing now, lol. Superior predators normally drive away or kill the competition, so coyotes moving into a new area may initially cross with a free roaming or wild dog but are more likely to kill it. Once the coyotes are established, cross breeding seldom continues. Plus, domestic dog cycles often puts offspring on the ground at the wrong time of the year, etc. Dont underestimate the size of northwest coyotes! I mean north, not just our northern states. The eastern coyote is in a league all its own, though.
