coywolf
Coyote-wolf offspring
A coywolf is a hybrid canid resulting from interbreeding between coyotes and wolves, found primarily in eastern North America.
These animals are larger than pure coyotes and have adapted remarkably well to suburban and urban environments.
The term blends *coyote* and *wolf*, though some biologists prefer *eastern coyote* for the stabilized population: Coywolves have become common in cities like Toronto and Boston.
