Saw this on Reddit, could this be a coydog? https://www.reddit.com/r/animalid/comments/105o3g4/local_residents_page_in_mi_cant_decide_if_this_is/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I don’t know much about them as I don’t have coyotes in my country but I love learning form your account and seeing the massage variation in them, thank you for posting

So here's the picture of the coyote in question:

And images of the subspecies in that area, Canis latrans thamnos:

The Great Lakes/Northeastern coyotes are one of my favorite subspecies. They have a very unique skull shape and build since they're in this transitional space between the western subspecies and the Eastern Coyote (Canis latrans "var.").

Red coyotes are a very common morph among Eastern coyote subspecies. You see them in almost every Eastern state, and especially within the Northeastern subspecies. Though the theory is that this coloration was introduced into coyote population from dogs, many Northeasterns seem to be this color because it's just beneficial to the environment they live in. I'd need to find the image but there's a trial cam photo of a Northeastern coyote in the woods up there and it blends almost perfectly into the landscape. Coyotes are known for being incredibly adaptable and, as we've seen in Eastern Coyotes, if it's an adaptation they benefit from in a particular area, it spreads realtivly quickly through the populations. I've also wondered if because they look very dog-like from a distance is why you see a lot of them in urban environments (little bit of urban camouflage because the average person would see that color and think they're dogs, so they're left alone and can spread those genes). Here's a group of red Northeastern ones living in downtown Chicago:

There's nothing about the image of that coyote to make me think it's a high content coydog. Read through a lot of the comments on reddit and all these "dog traits" people are looking at are just traits common within that subspecies. I haven't seen a ton of studies done on the Northeastern subspecies but the Eastern Coyotes which are more know for hybridization are still predominantly coyote with admixtures of dog, gray wolf, and eastern wolf within thier lineage. Basically, unless the animal is captured and tested, it's a safer bet to consider it a coyote until proven otherwise.

There was a black coyote that caused a big scene several years ago who was seen actively playing with and befriending dogs. The public was convinced he was a coydog because of his coloration and behavior. He was eventually captured and taken to a conservation center and samples from him were sent to UC Davis. No recent dog lineage was found. He was just a black coyote. His name's Carmine and he's adorable btw

There's also this little lad who was tested and is confirmed to be an F1 coydog. From a distance he would look like a typical coyote, but he's half border collie.

Morphology alone is not the best indicatator for whether or not coyotes have high content of dog or wolf in them, especially if you aren't aware of the differences between the subspecies. Genetic testing is the only way to 100% confirm whether they do or not. Just from that one pic and knowing what area the coyote is from, I definitely think it's a just Northeastern coyote.

Charm Samples arrived!!✨

And they look super good!! DT's has a bit of a blemish on his empty socket, but hopefully that won't happen again in the official batch XD CMYK ofc desaturated the original colors, so I've made some tweaks and hopefully I didn't mess them up for the finals-

They're all planned to be double sided, clear acrylics with slightly different images on each side, but I definitely wanna make a series with the broken glass holographic eventually~

I got a variety to see which one I like best, and I think I'm gonna go with the epoxy, I just need to decide on one-sided epoxy finish or double-sided epoxy finish. Any preference? 👀 PLEASE let me know I caNNOT decide both sound nice X'D

just now realizing the only women I've been on dates with have been big and worn glasses. I can't tell if its coincidence, or if the key to sealing the deal with me is as simple as visual impairment and a round tummy

So. l have sample stickers from two different sticker makers. I'm not sure which maker makes the better stickers though one maker has a faster turnaround time than the other. Several of these are going to have additional tweaks and I may do a second test with the ones I'm editing to make sure they're coming out the way I want them to before I move forward with pre-orders.

But seriously, those two keldabe kiss stickers came out SO GODDAMN NICE.

The interest check form has closed, if anyone was wondering. I have a pretty good idea what people who want to buy merch from me wants which is Cheen Yofree being fed up with this Jedi/Mando holodrama haunting his Rodian ass.

hc that dazai only eats food that 1. came from a can that he just opened or 2. food that he can confirm was made by chuuya. sometimes he'll wait until chuuya takes a bite out of dazai's food because he is paranoid enough to think that it's poisoned

Weekly poll #4:

[rimouskis]

alright, as someone who's an avid "skin scent" hunter when it comes to perfumes, glossier you has always seemed really scentless to me when I tested it in-store. I was determined to give it a real go, though, so I ordered a sample and it arrived today!

my verdict is this: is smells a lot like Room 1015 Sonic Flower, and that isn't a compliment coming from me. both of them smell weirdly like a shoe store to me. like a DSW, you know? or a Foot Locker. not shoe-funk-y, but like... big box shoe store. fresh, clean, but deeply consumerist and put-upon, artificial. chemically-laundered shoe materials and rubber. I feel like a sales associate is about to ask if I want to try another size.

I think it's the powder note. both you and Sonic Flower are heavy on their powder notes, and powder doesn't seem to be my thing, especially not when it dominates.

my favorite skin scenes—Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume (Superdose) and Phlur Missing Person—DO both have powder notes in them, but the powder is deeply overshadowed by musk, or wood. I also enjoy DedCool Xtra Milk, which again has powder, but more musk than powder.

I consider this a win, since I like you's bottle too much and am grateful that I will not be tempted to buy it now lol.

Once again the scanner has destroyed any semblance of shading I could manage. Anyway, sure is great that this incarnation of Man-Bat doesn't accidentally transform any of his relatives hahaha...

infection AU on the brain again :3

Anyways, they’re trying to find refuge in the camp Darling set up for those non-infected (and to find a cure for Blondie) (She is impatient)
