I'd say most likely photoshop.

I highly doubt that Mickey. There are hundreds of examples online of coyote/wolf hybrids, also known as coywolfs. I am sure he pulled that from a pic page and it looks real enough. I've seen a few of them in Northern Pa. They were MUCH smaller than that example. Closer to coyote length and height, just a bit taller by maybe 4 inches and a bit heavier in the chest and rear quarters.

As I said earlier, that pic is a little harder to judge without known landmarks to judge height but the overall size is MUCH larger (in appearance) than the coywolfs I have seen.

Here is where the pic was from: http://www.eastbayri.com/news/coyote...in-portsmouth/

I will admit that most coyotes do not look like this. Generally, the ones I have seen are clearly scrawny little coyotes, as some have mentioned here. But some can look a bit wolf like and some wolves can look a bit coyote like. And there are hybrids. We have the Brule River valley within 10 miles of our house and I have seen many tracks that seemed to be clearly wolf. Yes, there are a lot of wolves in N. WI. But they like a big river valley with uninterrupted forests as opposed to our farm fields and smaller woods with many farmers ready and willing to SSS. And I am yet to hear one howl in 20+ years - that is my point - it becomes more interesting to say you saw a wolf than a coyote - and my next door neighbors have seen many.

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.
