Thanks, Bobad, for that DNA update - Grey Wolfotes they are then! The Maritime naturalists were speculating at the time, and they guessed Red Wolf because that species was under so much pressure, which is when you get attempts to crossbreed with the nearest likely other species. Orcas and various dolphins do this, as well.

Little Hawk, I'm glad to hear you are confident - just heard a story the other night about a lady farmer who settled here from the US out trying to shoot an eagle that was taking her tame ducks from time to time. Dunno what she thought it was. My friend educated her - gently (hey, she had a gun).
