Voyageurs Wolf Project, an organization focused on understanding the ecology of wolves in Minnesota, posted a cryptic video on X earlier this month featuring what looked to be a coyote-dog hybrid.

Over the years, chupacabras have been described as “mangy coyotes, dogs, and coyote-dog hybrids, or coydogs,” according to Loren Coleman, director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in ...

Both F 1 and F 2 hybrids resemble their coyote parents in terms of shyness and intrasexual aggression.
