- Title
Observations of Coywolves, Canis latrans x lycaon, Crossing Bridges and Using Human Structures on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Way, Jonathan G.
- Abstract
I directly observed Coywolves (Canis latrans x lycaon; also called Eastern Coyote) successfully crossing over rivers/bays by traveling on paved (i.e., used by vehicles) bridges within their established territories. These data confirm that Coyotes! Coywolves use these narrow corridors in their travels, such as when colonizing new areas. I also report on breeding female, sick, and old Coywolves using human structures, including under overturned boats/canoes, under houses, and under sheds/ decks. Breeding females (n = 3) used these sites as dens, and sick (11 2) and old (a = 2) individuals used them for shelter.
