Coywolves!! This is just so cool :)

I had heard bout these guys several years ago and am very glad to learn about how well they are now (at least as of 2015) doing because, as you can tell from my top-of-the-journal photo, I love wolves and coyotes. And dogs are pretty cool too :)

They look cute. This guy looks a bit shy. Amazing fur color! Their existence says something really bad about how we treat the wild life and their habitat. But here they are so let's hope they thrive.

It does say something bad about how we treat other species but I also find their adaptability amazing and very hopeful.

So beautiful! I hope we're able to keep enough wilderness around to let them live happily.

I agree!!

I wish it well, and truly hope it survives! I love wolves, too, and all species of the canidae family.

They seem to be thriving and since they are wolf, coyote, and dog, they should be stronger and more adaptable. And yeah, me too, wolves, coyotes, even fox, maybe especially fox, I love them all.

Haha I love that they're called coywolves, presumably coyote+wolf, and it looks like its being coy in that picture!! ;D

I thought that too, glancing back over its shoulder like that :)
