I deliver newspapers early every morning in North Haven and Hamden. This morning, about 4:30, I pulled off Ridge Road in North Haven and down a long driveway toward a house deep in the woods.I immediately saw two animals in the drive and thought they were fox which I see in this area often. As my headlights shown on them, I realized they were not fox or coyotes,but two dogs. They walked off the drive and stopped as I drove up to them slowly. I pulled up next to them, about five feet away.They were not dogs,but definitely wolves or possibly a wolf/dog hybrid.I have been an amateur student of wolves for many years,and have read much on the subject.One was male about 80 to 100 lbs.,the other female, about 10 to 20 lbs. lighter.The female slipped into the woods quickly out of my sight, but the male stayed his ground, observing me for about 15 to 20 seconds before walking away.I got a very good close look at him,and if he was not a wolf, I'll eat my hat.

About 2 weeks ago at 2:30 in the afternoon I was backing out of my driveway and started to pull forward and saw 2 large wolves they were dark brown with black in the middle and big yellow eyes both staring at me about 90 to 100 lbs. 10 feet away I'm glad I was in my car. Haven't seen them since but they are working on the power lines across the street and digging up large holes. Thats where they ran to. I look up timber wolves and that is exactly what I saw. I live in Orange.

Twice now my husband has seen a wolf in our back yard. We called animal control who insists that it's a coyote. It ran in front of my husband. It was chasing a deer. It ran right infront of him, stopped, turned to look at him and then continued after the deer. He said that it was hip high to him when it went by him. He was afraid for his life it was so big, but animal control doesn't want to believe it was a wolf. Yesterday, he saw it again. This time he got pictures. I think the DEP may be wrong. There appear to be wolves in CT
