Wolves in Ottawa

by Anon
(Kanata, Ontario)

I live in Kanata, Ontario, at the boundary of a wilderness area.

It is pretty common to see Coyotes, but early this morning at 4:00 am I heard a Wolf howl.

The sound is quite different than a Coyote's yipping sounds, very deep and throaty.

I was not aware that we had Wolves in this area, although I have heard of reports in the Kingston area.

Thanks for this report of your hearing the voice of the Wolf - some people report hearing a Wolf howling, but often, they don't realize that what they are hearing is a Coyote, however, you are used to hearing Coyotes, and can tell the difference.

I wonder if any other readers from the Ottawa area have seen or heard Wolves lately? If you have, please write and let us know!

Coyotes / Wolves in Altavista
by: Anonymous

My wife and I just saw what looks like a pair of Wolves / Coyotes on Altavista Drive, at the corner of Kilborn. We didn't manage to take a photo unfortunately. I have seen foxes around here, but never saw Coyotes.

We just saw a pair of them in Alta Vista
by: Anonymous

They were both walking very calmly into someone's backyard - definitely NOT dogs!

Wolf Hybrid Possibly?
by: Anonymous

I am also in Kanata. I have seen Coyotes but this one was much bigger than any I had seen previously.

I like the fact they are very afraid, keep their distance and never roam to the front street to get our garbage - yet.

It looks very well fed nonetheless.

Wolf in Bells Corners
by: Anonymous

I saw a Wolf yesterday in the Greenbelt area between Bells Corners / Bridlewood.

It was very large (at least 70-80 lbs) and grey in colour.

Didn't look much a coyote at all - much bigger. It disappeared too quickly to get a picture!

Wolves in the NCC - Kanata
by: Susan

While walking my dog in the NCC (near Bridlewood, Kanata) yesterday, I also saw a Wolf. It was about the size of my dog (90lbs). My dog was off the leash at the time and came face to face with it. I was afraid that they might get into an altercation, but the Wolf (or large Coyote) ran off.

When my dog came back I put him on the leash and then a few minutes later the Wolf came out onto the trail and was watching us.

It was so beautiful. I wish that I had my camera with me.

I have seen Wolves or Coyotes several times in this area.

Wolf in Kanata
by: Kimberly

My daughter and I saw a wolf in Kanata (Bridlewood) today, October 1 while walking our dogs. It stopped for a few seconds and stared at us before walking back into the woods. It was in a clearing and was definitely a wolf. I had heard that wolves sometimes came out of the NCC forest but had never seen one. A rare occasion indeed.

I live with a hunter, and the howling that we are hearing in Kanata is definitely Coyotes.

I hear them from October to Snow fall every year.

They run right behind Morgans Grant, in Kanata.
