What you can say, canonically, is that there is at least one example of such-and-such a thing in the species. It's suggestive but it's nothing more than that. Thank you. This is exactly  why  (one of the reasons, at least) I say that we can't say werecoyotes full shift more easily.

We've seen one and a chimera. It's possible even if the full shift is as rare for werecoyotes as werewolves that the first two we see to be capable of doing it. (From what we've seen on the show.

It certainly isn't enough to state the full shift theory as canon.
