Newfoundland coyote

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 01:41:18 +0100

These large coyotes have established themselves here on the island of Newfoundland and they intend to stay. The government now has place bounties on these animals to control the populations. The Newfoundland coyote looks like a half-wolf and half-coyote. They are quite large. There has been evidence of the Newfoundland coyote bringing down full-grown moose and caribou. A full grown moose can weight up to 1200 pounds. If you'd like more information on this subject please click on the link below the CBC News report.

CBC NEWS REPORTS

Hunters in Newfoundland are calling on the province to get rid of coyotes that they say are killing off the island's caribou herds. Wildlife officials in Newfoundland and Labrador say they aren't ready to heed calls from hunting outfitters to eradicate the coyotes, which only appeared on the island in the 1980s. The predators, which aren't native to the island, are believed to have crossed over from the mainland on pack ice 20 years ago.

Ray Broughton says he's invested more than $1 million in Ray's Hunting and Fishing Lodge, a business that relies on caribou to hunt. These days, he says, many of the caribou he finds have been torn apart by coyotes. "The caribou population is being decimated," Broughton said. "Government and the public have to get informed and involved or – my prediction – there will be no more caribou hunting in five years' time."

Western coyotes aren't known to kill big animals like caribou, but Eastern Canada is likely dealing with a bigger variety that's more like a wolf, says Paul Wilson, a researcher at Trent University in Ontario.

"The eastern coyote is, in fact, a hybrid between the eastern wolf and coyote that expanded from the west," Wilson said. "Whatever animals made it over to Newfoundland probably came from this hybrid eastern coyote."

Newfoundland and Labrador's wildlife department is now spending millions of dollars to find out why the province's caribou population is in decline. However, officials are not yet prepared to blame coyotes.
