New England Canis Seen as Native Wolf Return
Amherst Massachusetts United Press International biologist Ray Coppinger of Hampshire College says the New England Canis is likely native and not a cross between dog and coyote or dog and wolf. He notes populations rose as forests regrew and cites thousands in Maine and Vermont with sightings as far as Virginia and New Jersey. He warns of a bounty push and stresses the animal is not a tremendous threat while acknowledging ongoing studies by Hampshire College students tracking and collaring the wolves.
