Dire wolves in NK?

Submitted by Il_vino_buono t3_125zouw in RhodeIsland

Last night was a second time I was woken up by loud howling from a pack of some sort of canine variety. It honestly sounded like a GoT episode was happening outside my window. Are there wolves or coyotes in Southern NK?

There are coyotes in Providence, so yea, they are in NK. I don't believe there have been any verified sightings of wolves in the wild in southern New England in decades.

It's the end of Coyote mating season

Soon ,

They'll move on to another neighborhood that still has outdoor cats

Haha and if you think we're talking those measley slinking coyotes you've seen on Westerns -- Noo0O0ooo! These are big Eastern coyotes crossed at some point with wolves, and yes, fattened on outdoor cats

No wolves anywhere outside of a few national parks out west in the USA. Coyotes, however, definitely.

Except in a drug dealer’s East Greenwich mansion.

NK has lots of Coyotes. Usually hear them when mating season or they’ve gotten a kill.

Coyotes around here for sure and they get crazy loud at times.

For reference the animals we see now are a hybrid, coywolves, it’s a quick read but if you are interested. CoyWolves

I grew up in South County and in the early 2010s saw some absolutely massive coyotes down there. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some wolf mixed into whatever groups are running around there.
