] Date Posted: 06:33:32 05/23/05 Mon In reply to: Joseph Whedbee 's message, "wolves in CT?" on 02:02:12 01/29/04 Thu I live in Middletown. Sunday at 1P I was driving down a usual route for me, one side of the road is a large field where deer graze and on the other is a deep wooded area, with an actual path worn by the deer as they cross the road. I always go slow because no matter what time of day, the deer might be crossing. I spotted this large animal, larger than a german shephard(we've owned them so I am familiar with them), but grey, walking across the same area of road from the field to the woods and up the deer path. He had a large low tail like a shephard, but legs up straight not the way a shephard almost crouches when they walk. He was longer and taller than a shephard and a color I have never seen on a domestic animal. I stopped my car in the area of the path but no longer could see the animal. And frankly it was so big that I didn't want to get out of my car. I don't see how it could be anything else but a wolf. Am I crazy? I have seen coyotes but they are small animals around here.

Date Posted: 20:07:12 05/29/06 Mon I believe there is a dead grey wolf on the exit ramp to Mohegan Sun casino. I drove by it, and it was much larger and furrier than a coyote, and much more muscular and wider muzzle. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:23:42 03/18/07 Sun Driving by an abandoned farm and this animal came galloping across the road. This animal had a wide muzzle, long tail and was larger than a german shepard and had a greyish coat. It looked very healthy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 03:46:13 03/27/11 Sun >I live in the White hills section of Shelton and >spotted one last night in my front yard no less!! 03/27/11-This morning there were 2 howling in the backyard, near Constitution Blvd. S. I know a family of them has been living in the woods for a couple of years. This area is heavily wooded, with a total of about 40 acres. It seems that they are getting braver, and braver. Coming closer to the houses, cats, and garbage. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:42:27 07/15/06 Sat I also live in middletown, and I think tonight I saw a wolf on an open field opposite route 154. It definitely was no german shepard. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:22:25 11/12/06 Sun I used to breed shepherds and I know what they look like too. I have huge coyotes where I live now. They aren't wolves. They trot silently along the road at night. They catch the rodents that live in the rock walls around here. If you open your door at the right time you can see them not ten feet from you. I haven't heard of anyone being hurt by them though they'll stare you down. Wolves are actually timid and will hide from humans. If you want to see a good photo go to puppyfind.com under shepherd and there is a breeder of them. You can see right away from the face that its a wolf. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:02:09 07/04/07 Wed wow heidi thats so wierd. Yeah last night i found about a foot long bass in my backyard that had been eaten out and all that was left was head, back bone and tail. It had very large teeth marks in it. Then later on that night i found a huge footprint coming out of my pond. It was too large to be a fox or a coyote so i did research and it found out that it was a wolf. And there was also small baby prints next to it. About three years before today, i swore that i saw two grey wolves running together in the woods but was unsure if they were wolves i have never seen them in Ct before! Response? ... 7/4/07 [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 06:35:15 08/06/12 Mon The chances are very, very small that a wolf would be in ct. there could be though, but there are probably only about 30 of them in ct. Coyotes can get pretty big. I saw what looked like a wolf, but it was just a coyote. You could have seen one, but you probably won't see another. If I were you, I would cherish seeing it, as that is very lucky.

Date Posted: 19:49:16 08/13/12 Mon I drove to a friends house in Easton, CT tonight and when I parked my car in their driveway to drop something off, they had not gotten home yet, I heard a horrible loud noise, one that I had never heard before and it was very close in by their backyard....I ran out of the car to drop off what I needed to and the noise grew closer to the door I ran in to. When I came out the noise was still there. It was like a howl but a very strange one. I went onto youtube to see if I could find the sound of wolf, coyote, bobcat and the sound was that of the wolf! it was very closeby to me. At first I thought it was almost an owl sound but it became so loud and grew louder, there must be wolves living in their back yard! >I live in Middletown.

It was a mangy grey wolf with patches of reddish fur!! It looked similar to a shephard...but that was no shephard or coyote!! It was headed into the woods. Walked right by me and my cat sitting on the deck frozen in place!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
