Is there a cross between a wolf and a fox?

Answer 1

Wolves weigh 80 - 200 pounds and are 5 - 7 feet long, and coyotes weigh 20 - 50 pounds and are 2 - 4.5 feet long, and the Red Wolf is around 4.5 - 5 feet long and usually weighs 40 - 80 pounds. Red wolves have unique things about them that coyotes have, and unique things about them that wolves have and look like a coyote wolf, because they are.

Answer 2

Yes, coyotes and wolves seem to interbreed in the wild even. In the northeast United States wolves are quite rare but coyotes are common. The few wolves seem to be breeding with coyotes and producing animals that are bigger than the average coyote but smaller than an average wolf. For more information, click on this link.

Answer 3

The red wolf's taxonomic status has been a subject of controversy. A 2011 genetic study indicated that it may be a hybrid species between gray wolves and coyotes. The question is far from settled as there are scientists on both sides of the issue.

Answer 4

yes in fact all coyotes that live in the woods are part wolf

the only pure coyotes are the desert coyotes

Answer 5

Not that I know of. Also, it is highly unlikely, as wolves have been known to eat foxes.

Answer 6

No. They are different species. The gray is Canis Lupus, and the red is Canis Rufus.

Answer 7

No, they are too distant genetically to form a hybrid.
