In 1997, a 72-pound canine animal was shot in Glover, Vermont. The DNA tests on that particular animal showed that it was of mixed ancestry consisting of grey wolf and quite possibly coyote or domestic dog. "We have worked hard to accurately identify the ancestry and the origin of both of these large canids shot in Vermont, because the results may be important in how we manage wild canids in the future," added Royar.

Interesting article!
Very interesting. A while back an animal was killed in Arkansas because it was attacking cattle. I saw it on TV after it was dead. They thought it was a "goat sucker"(cupacabra?). You might look it up online if you're interested. It was really a strange
animal that I had never heard of.
Interesting! I remember this incident.
