If they were to go extinct, coyotes would most likely claim the wolves' spot in the ecosystem. They would/could evolve to be apex predator as the grey wolf is currently [i.e. stronger jaws, larger body, etc.].
Actually, they do. Coyotes don't hunt the bigger animals, such as wolves do. Wolves are one of the little animals that would hunt the Moose, elk, and such things as that. Coyotes are more of a rabbit, mouse, sometimes deer sort of an animal. In this case, It's wolves who are more above the coyote BECAUSE of the way that wolves would hunt the bigger animals.
Edit;
All else, really, One more thing I have to say.
Hunting is a very...lets say... A diverse thing. It's very flexible on if it's good or bad. It's good because it keeps the wolves in Check. Check meaning, the population of wolves should be at a certain amount. Hunting is also bad, because, we possibly could "over check" the population and wipe the species out, which means total extermination of the population of the world.
And which, in any case, hunting can be GOOD or BAD. EITHER ONE. So basically, there is no need for threads such as this one. The Federal Government already has Operations such as this, where only there actually DOING something about it, and not just "supporting not doing it" or whatever.
so basically, also, threads like these aren't exactly necessary. Threads like this is just a place to support not doing, or doing something. You are doing ANYTHING but supporting, so it makes NO different to the wolf population, whatsoever.
