Coyotes and Wolves have a lot of similarities but Coyotes are much smaller than wolves. Both tend to travel in packs, but upon hunting Coyotes can and often do prefer hunting alone. Wolves hunt and do most everything in packs. That said, it would be really weird to see Coyotes and Wolves mate in the wild. Although it does happen, the commonness of it very small.

Yet both tend to live in similar places and all canine species share at least 78 chromosomes. Therefore, they can interbreed and create other fertile canines. Wolves & Coyotes are the furthest apart in the canine family but still share a lot. Coywolves tend to look like both parents, share similarities to both, and grow to a size in-between both that of the coyote and wolf.
