Hello. I'm the state's furbearer biologist for the Ohio DNR. I am working jointly with a geneticist to determine the percentages of coyote, wolf, and dog DNA in Ohio coyotes. Ohio is unique in that it is a place where the eastward expansion of coyotes is meeting the southwestern expansion of coyotes from further northeast.
I am asking for help from coyote trappers and hunters. All I need is a piece of coyote tongue (about the size of a nickle) placed in a Ziploc bag and frozen. The only information I need is the date, location, and a description of anything odd about the coyote (white tipped tail, dark-black, etc.). I need about 100 samples from across the state, and I or my students are available to pick up samples.
If you can help, please reply to me here, or directly at suzie.prange@dnr.state.oh.us. Thanks so much for your help!!
