Possible Wolf Sighting in York Region

(Ballantrae, Ontario)

I was driving on Vivian Road just east of Hwy 48 on October 29th when about 70 yards ahead of me I saw an animal cross the road.

My first thought was that it must be a Coyote but it was bigger than the Coyotes in this area.

I have a German Shepherd Dog that weighs just over 100 lbs and this animal was close to his size, if not a bit bigger. It was also very dark coloured, possibly black.

By the time I got to the part of the road it had crossed at it was gone. Both sides of the road were pretty thick brush.

I've watched nature shows and read up on Wolves, Coyotes, Bears, etc. and I truly believe that this was a Wolf.

I too, think you may have spotted a Wolf - who knows!

Maybe another of our readers may also have seen Wolf activity in your area.
