Canis lupus familiaris (dogs), Canis lupus (wolves), and Canis latrans (coyote) are very similar and often a topic of conversation if the species are under one species or separate. The three animals are different species. In the article, Yes, eastern coyotes are hybrids, but the ‘coywolf’ is not a thing, the author points out that different species do not have to be completely reproductively isolated. The articles points out that in times when both the species of Canis lupus and Canis latrans were underpopulated and endangered that the different species would mate with each other and the other species Canis lupus familiaris. Although, when each species is not in endangered they choose to mate with their respective species.
