[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2137475"] I have read a handful of books on coyotes, and there are 18 or 19 genetically distinct sub groups of coyotes in North America. The Coyotes hunted in Montana are as different genetically as the whitetails in Alberta and the Cous deer in Mexico. They are on the edge of being a different species. The percentages of wolf DNA vary greatly, as well as what types of wolf DNA they contain. The behavior of coyotes across their ranges probably varies more than any other animal within its species. Average size of a coyote from different parts of the country can vary by as much as 100%. Their diets aren't the same, their denning behavior isn't the same, their vocalizations aren't the same. They all clearly have an immense amount in common, but for the man who respects and studies his coyotes, behavior of coyotes a couple thousand miles away might not always be that relevant. Our coyotes here have a ton of Mexican red wolf DNA. They are predominantly a rusty red color and the males can reach 50lbs+ if they can make it to full maturity. I've only ever heard of a few over that 50lb mark, but they are out there. I don't weigh them, but a 40-45lb mature male isn't a rarity here. [/QUOTE]
