I was just searching the web trying to find information about whether there were wolves in CT and found this site.
Tonight driving home (~9:30) I saw what i believe was a wolf crossing the road in front of me. I was going fairly slow because there are always opposum crossing the road there...i hit my brakes and swerved to let him go by, he turned looked at my car and then ran off through the field. I was in Enfield heading backroads towards Somersville where there are a lot of horse farms. I've seen coyotes and this animal was at least 2-3 times the size of any coyote I've seen. I'm positive it was not a dog. My headlights illuminated him fairly well and he looked to have a light gray-dark white bottom and a gray top, a large bushy tail hanging low, his head was straight up, not hanging down like most dogs do, and I would guess he weighed 70-90 lbs.
Just like the other person I thought I was going crazy. I can't seem to find much information about wolves here in CT except for a lot of sites saying there are none.

I also saw the dead wolf on the exit ramp by Mohegan Sun. I thought it was a large coyote at first but couldn't believe they could be that big. Now I'm convinced it was wolf because somebody report seeing one on our street. They called the Mystic Nature Center and without telling them where he lived the Nature Center knew he lived in Ledyard.

On Sunday 9/17 my husband and I were working in our yard (In Waterford CT) when what we believed to be a wolf came trotting through our yard. We often get coyotes but this was MUCH larger. He came from the area by our pond and exited the open area to the woods.
