UPDATE:   Wow!  Not only did I get an answer back from Jeff Beringer, resource scientist and conservation biologist for the State of Missouri, but I got it back almost instantly.  Someone give this man a raise, or at least a valuable first edition copy of Aldo Leopold's book on Game Management!  Mr. Beringer clarifies that:
•Early test results showed coyote DNA was present in the sampled animal
•Follow up tests are planned using DNA from wolves from nearby great lake states to see if their wolves also have coyote DNA.
•It is possible for this animal to be a wolf or wolf hybrid and carry coyote DNA

From what I read here, the DNA testing is not done, it only says there is coyote DNA present.

In the picture where you can see the body, it appears there is some curl in the tail. Which is an indicator of domestic dog in the breeding.

It has wolf coloring on the face and wolfe ears. Wolf coloring on body. Maybe mixed with with a dog or something. I have heard about wild wolves mixing with dogs. Seems like I read something about that not too long ago.

  This is just not good.  Bigger, smarter and less fear of man.  That just doesn't add up to a story that ends well for anybody.

  The suburban-isation of the once shy coyote has already lead to a number of atacks on humans.  Virtualy all the animals that have ben confirmed to have atacked people have been in some way demonstrated to have been fed (on purpose or negligently) by people.  I'm not placing blame here; I'm pointing out the established and obvious for the sake of making a point.  Now we have bigger coy's bred from hybridization with wolves and/or domestic dogs.  Add those things up and you'll have 100+ pound predators eating out of trash cans. Trash cans right next to the doors that kids come out of.  Not cool.

  If this story of the 104 lb coyote was happening in a time when coyotes were not becoming a nuisance, I'd think it was cool.  Unfortunately, the 'bigger coy' story is happening now, at the same time the 'coyote atacks child' stories are becoming more common in this country.  I'll say it again, not cool.

I live about 6 miles outside of Branson and we had a problem with crossbred coyotes. I'd not have believed it when a neighbor warned me about them had I not ending up shooting one myself. They were crossbred with a Malamute and had the Malamute mask and white tip on their tails. The rest was typical coloring for a Coyote but the one I shot weighed aprox 90 - 100lbs. What concerned me was that they were agressive and showed no fear of humans.

A 100 pound coyote is kind of scary.  I have a large lab and he weighs in at a little over 100 pounds.  I would hate to have something that size wanting to bite me rather than trying to lick me to death. :D

  And that, my friend, is the root of the problem.  Or as Frank Zappa put it; the crux of the biz-kit.

  The two animals most likely to attack and kill humand in North America are bees and dogs.  (worldwide I believe it's still bees and gators/crocs)  Bees are bugs and know no fear of man.  Dogs live with us and have been bread to see us as their benefactors.  They don't fear us.  Now with the resurgence of the coyote as a newly suburbanised animal.  They eat our trash.  they live oof of our leavings.  We are where their food comes from.  We are, in effect, a food source and not to be feared.

  This is why the reintroduction of the wolf is such a bad idea.  They will get too cozy.  They will lose their fear.
