The hybrids account for the reports of outsized coyotes. "Purebred" coyotes just don't get very big. A 40 pound male is a very, very big coyote. Most go somewhere in the 30's, if that. I think the biggest pure coyote on record just topped 70 pounds, but that lands squarely in the "freak" category - kind of the Andre the Giant of the coyote world.
