Wolves and coyotes are extremely territorial, and are known to kill 'intruders', even within their own species. No way was it running with a coyote.

I wonder if these two wolves had any tags, tattoos, radios, scannable implants, or chips -- or if they had prior 'history' with wildlife agencies on either side of the border.

The same 'niche' as coyotes? I think we can expect the wolf to carve out a much larger 'niche'.

No, It was a total shock that they found a wolf in the Adirondacks

Well the Adirondack park which is bigger than Yellowstone, Yosmite and the Grand Canyon combined has the room.

Actually this hunter should have been prosecuted, Baiting animals is illegal in New York.

Actually it is possible, One of the biggest reasons wolf reintroduction didn't go forward in the Adirondacks is because it was found that the Eastern Coyote instead of being killed by the wolves would actually breed with them.
