According to a report in the Medill news website, “coywolves are on the rise in Illinois.” What’s a coywolf, you ask?

“The coywolf is apparently more aggressive than a regular coyote and much like a wolf it will hunt in packs,” according to coyotemap.com.

All of which is kind of interesting, because of the city of Geneva just heard a series of reports from residents who have been increasingly concerned about coyotes getting more aggressive. Some of those reports have suggested that coyotes are hunting in packs.

You can follow more of the story in History of The Coywolf on PBS.
