I bet they determine the critter has gay genes.

Not to be confused with the Maine mystery-beast.
The wildlife officials who disposed of it were complete jerks. They would not even take a sample for DNA analysis.

I’ve never seen that word before:
canid
Main Entry: ca·nid
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin Canidae, from Canis, type genus, from Latin canis
Date: circa 1889
: any of a family (Canidae) of carnivorous animals that includes the wolves, jackals, foxes, coyote, and the domestic dog

Somebody figured out that wolf hybrids don’t make the best pets after all ... but they couldn’t bear to put the beast(s) down, and thus they left them out in the woods someplace.

Canid as in they don’t know if it’s a wolf or coyote? It is big.

There’s not much info here. Two kinds of wolves? Well what are they? Could it be the red wolf and the timber wolf? Why didn’t they say?
Here’s what I think. A wolf will breed with a dog. A coyote will breed with a dog. A wolf will not breed with a coyote. But a wolfdog will breed with a coydog. So that’s what I think it is. A wolfcoydog. The dog part is probably siberian husky or german sheperd or maybe a little of both...something that somewhat resembles a wolf.

Interesting. The headline says “canines” yet the article mentions only one canine shot and concluding that it must have been breed by humans and gotten lose somehow. This leads the reader to believe that there was only this one half-breed in existence. Which is it? “Canines” or “canine.”

That ain’t big. My Doberman is 120 pounds — and all muscle. Even after 10 years, I still cringe a little when he seems to be staring at me for no apparent reason!
