8. A Coyote and A Wolf

It is not that uncommon for a coyote and a wolf to mate. The coywolf is very identical to its parents, sharing lots of similarities when it comes to their behavior.

During an observation where a female coyote gave birth to a coywolf, the hybrid was larger and heavier than the usual coyote.

However, some experiments showed that the hybrids are less aggressive in their group and reach sexual maturity much later than the coyotes do.

Their howl changes over time, in the beginning those are similar to a gray wolf’s, but later the howl is almost the same with a coyote’s.
