It is thought that the Eastern coyote might have interbred with wolves. They are larger than Western coyotes and more likely to be in packs. I'll see if I can find the link that discusses that. easier than I thought! http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Wildlife/Wildlife_profiles/profile_eastern_coyote.htm
