Description
English: Illustration of an eastern wolf. The text erroneously describes it as Canis lupus occidentalis, a subspecies of grey wolf, despite the fact that C. l. occidentalis never ranged as far east as New York, which included the historical range of C. lycaon. The depicted animal's light, coyote-like build further confirms its true identity. It can't be a coyote, as the illustration is from 1842, while coyotes only colonised New York during the 1920s.
