“Previous analyses of the CR provided evidence for a North American evolved eastern wolf (C. lycaon), that is more closely related to red wolves (C. rufus) and coyotes (C. latrans) than grey wolves (C. lupus).”
“In between are the Eastern coyotes and the smaller wolves known as Eastern Canadian wolves (Canis lycaon), a type that some biologists say is a distinct species closely related to red wolves.”
“Amaral said that because Eastern wolves hybridize with coyotes to the south and with gray wolves to the west, "you cannot draw hard lines on a map and say these are lycaon and these are lupus and these are latrans. '”
