Humans Have Created A New Top Predator

Humans are not newcomers when it comes to messing around with nature. While we haven't created a monster yet, what we do messed with the natural world. One recent example is the creation of the coywolf — a hybrid of the coyote and the wolf that is also known as the Eastern coyote. These animals have a completely new genetic make up: Their genes are about 1/4 wolf DNA and 2/3 coyote DNA, the rest is from domesticated dogs. They were created when previously separate wolf and coyote populations merge in the land North of the Great Lakes.

Weird. The wolfs that were restored in Yellowstone Park decimated almost all of the coyote population within a few months. Coy-wolves have been a fact according to the scientists in the West, and sadly no wolves are possible in that region. When you saw a wolf, you really only saw a coy-wolf. Let's hope that humans don't create anything else, sorta like a Wolf-bear. Now that's something else.
