MZS, That's a "large member" of the Portsmouth pack because it's definitely got wolf in it. There is no mistaking THAT for a pure bred coyote. The shape of the head, the "mane" around the face, the wider muzzle, are all characteristics of the Wolf breed. Dr. Numi Mitchell should state that in that article. Anyone with any knowledge of coyote's and wolves or with these hybrids can see that. I killed MANY coyotes in Pa and the absolute biggest one weighed in at 48.5 pounds. And that was before the cross breeds started showing up around the North East. That bugger in that pic would go 60 pounds or more easily.
