Doesn't look like any wolf I have ever caught.

It looks like a couple I have caught.

This one had a fractured and healed zygomatic arch.

Good comparison, these pics. Boco's skull is the same slope percentage as the wolf skull in the top photo below. The difference is clear , in these .

Yes Sir.

I'd love to see more shots of that catch if possible. If the man holding it would have held it the other way, as others do when they catch a wuff, with the face showing again, that would have been nice. He is holding it the way guys do coyotes.

Years ago, we had a neighbor who claimed his dog was a cross with a wolf and a German Shepherd. It looked a lot like these photos.

Looks like the gray wolves I have seen in the upper peninsula. I don’t have any pics though.

It was -20 below the morning I got him and I could still smell him from 20 feet away. Beautiful fur though.

I would agree with that 160.....and that "something" is dog genes. Far more likely to see that in the lesser 48 I would think.

My issue with the OP post is saying that it is 100% wolf. I think there's a good possibility that the only 100% wolf is in the population on Ellesmere Island.

U S Fish and Wildlife Service said it was 100% wolf. hence the quotation marks in the statement in the original post.
