Pixabay/public domain (Undated) - Despite what you've seen online, there aren't any coywolves wondering around Indiana. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife said Thursday they have no record of any confirmed coyote-wolf hybrids in the state. DFW went on Facebook to reaffirm that there aren't any known wolf populations in the state. "Hybridization is rare and can only be determined by genetic testing. Individual wildlife can vary, just like individual people, so hybridization should not be assumed because of appearance. Coyotes vary in color and size. They are usually a mix of gray and brown, but may be blond, black, red, reddish blond, or numerous colors in between," the agency said. The wildlife experts say larger than normal coyotes are not wolf-hybrids, but likely have a full coat of fur for the winter.
