Unfortunately, paleontologists don't have the luxury of source URLs pasted onto the skulls they find. Now be honest. How likely do you think it would be for a paleontologist to be able to identify all of these as the same species if they were found in rock strata from the same time period within a 500 mile radius of each other?

As for the coyote, he not taxonomically classified as the same species as the domestic dogs, even though he can reproduce quite readily and successfully with other canids including domestic dogs.
