Ever wonder about the interbreeding of wolves and coyotes?

Good read, my question is how do they timeline DNA? Say 20 generations ago a wolf intermingled with a yote, or was it their cousins mother that thought it was a good idea to have a fling with a yote... So coy dogs are possible, with all the tame dogs out there over the years couldn't some of their DNA be in wolves or coyotes..

Very interesting Les. There has always been alot of controversy about this. People telling tales and their "guesses" and theories. DNA does clear up alot of issues on subjects that were just always discussion and sometimes imagination.

Les, that is interesting. I constantly hear people saying they have seen wolves or have trail cam photos of wolves. I believe there is a great deal of hybridization and variation of the coyote/ wolf/ dogs that currently occupy NY state resulting in great variety in color and size.

I wonder about inbreeding in society today due to all the stuff I see on TV and this stupid Pokemon crap......🤔
