@lucasinthewild: Meet the "Coywolf" (or Eastern Coyote). Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like: a real-life hybrid that is part western coyote, part eastern wolf, and even a little bit of domestic dog! 🐺🦊🐕 ​If you look closely at the footage, you'll notice this poor guy looks pretty banged up and sick. Urban wildlife has it rough, and it's common for coyotes in Toronto to battle sarcoptic mange, especially in the winter. It causes severe fur loss and leaves them looking pretty ragged. Seeing nature up close isn't always glamorous, but it is real. ❄️ ​I originally thought these guys started down in the Niagara region, but it turns out this made-in-Ontario hybrid actually originated about a century ago up in Algonquin Park. When eastern wolf populations were dropping, coyotes moved in from the west, and the species crossed paths. Fast forward, and this incredibly adaptable hybrid has spread throughout the province and into our city's ravines. ​Nature is wild, and I'm still amazed I caught this on camera. Have you ever spotted a Coywolf in Ontario? Let me know in the comments! 👇 ​#Throwback #Toronto #HumberRiver #Coywolf #EasternCoyote
