while driving to Ontario in 2011 near dusk, my wife and i (just outside of grand falls by the number 2) saw what I thought was a very large wolf-coyote hybrid standing by the road. But the distinctive grey-brown pelt, and very very large size made me think it may have been a wolf. I'm from Nova Scotia, and used to do quite a bit of hunting and have had several first hand experiences with Coyotes (alive and dead) from Nova Scotia and know them well. This made me quite sure that what I saw standing very close to the highway (when I put on the four-ways and slowed down the animal and I made very brief eye contact before it turned and trotted back into the woods) had to have been either a wolf-coyote hybrid (that was much more wolf than coyote) or an actual eastern wolf. Its very large size, and its pelt were quite different from what I was used to seeing from coyotes.

I am also painfully aware of the wolves being extinct around our parts for some time, so I searched the internet looking for any sightings of wolves and found little.

This string of stories in recent months makes me think that i might have seen actually seen either a large wolf-coyote hybrid or a pure wolf in New Brunswick. (I have been insisting that this for two years now and have gotten a lot of laughs, and "sure buddy"'s) Hopefully we'll find out more in the months and years to come!
