Meet the Coywolf

A new carnivore can be found in cities across the Eastern seaboard, from Toronto to Montreal to Boston and even New York. A versatile predator that feasts on everything from rabbits to deer to moose. Scientists say it is one of the most adaptable mammals on the planet, but what surprises them most is how this remarkable creature manages to live right alongside us and remain unseen. Coywolves emerged from Algonquin Park less than a 100 years ago. Their arrival on the scene marks a rare event — the creation of a brand new hybrid species. This formidable wild animal has spread across North America at an unprecedented pace, bringing a new top predator to territories once roamed by wolves. Using state-of-the-art high definition, infrared cameras that turn pitch dark into daylight, this visual and educational feast tags along with research scientists as they track one of the world’s most intelligent and shapeshifting animals.
