The Three Amigos on a Family Outing by the Main Gap Light House.

If you've seen an Ontario coyote, you've likely seen a coywolf. ... If you were standing in Ontario when you saw it, here's why you could say that you saw either one. The coywolf, a hybrid of the wolf and the western coyote, is the dominant species of coyote in Ontario. Coywolf or coyote are usually one and the same.Dec 10, 2019.

The eastern coyote is generally larger and heavier than the western one. This size difference gives eastern coyotes an edge in fights, making them stronger than western coyotes. Eastern coyotes also have a more intense color compared to the eastern species. Lastly, the two subspecies live in different geographical ranges and have different territory sizes, even if they prefer the same habitats.

The table at the beginning of this Album shows a quick comparison between western coyote vs. eastern coyote subspecies:

When the western coyotes moved towards the east of the United States, they amazingly changed their characteristics. This happened because of the breeding between western coyotes and eastern wolves. Thus, eastern coyotes were born. And the discussion of eastern coyote vs western coyote began.

Now, this phenomenon occurred over the course of a hundred years. And the new type of coyotes really left the scientific community confused. Are they coyotes or wolves or a new species? The debate is still going on. But most agree that these animals are coyotes with quite a few wolf characteristics.

So, the eastern coyote became known by a lot of names like a coydog, tweed wolf, brush wolf, and nowadays coywolf. If they are a new species or not that’s a debate for the scientists.
