Fox or Coyote?

[oosik]

I don't have fox around here. If that is a coyote - sure a lot skinnier and smaller than what I get here.

We have lots of fox and every now and then a coyote.
The legs and ears look like coyote to me.
But the tail looks like fox.

My vote is a small coyote

Coyote, based on the tail, and body shape/leg length. We get lanky coyotes and chunky ones, and not all of the lanky ones are youngsters here.

We had a red fox peer in the living room windows one year, but normally they are more cryptic and elusive than the mountain lions, though I occasionally find fox scat and footprints.

All the best,

Peter

I vote coyote. I have a couple of red foxes that visit several times a day/night looking for scraps. Their legs are fairly short.

My first reaction was fox but I’m far from sure.

I say coyote...I believe TX coyotes are small in size than NH.

We had a mating pair of foxes this year. They were small, similar to a 20# cat (we were adopted by one of those also).

Suspect that's a Coyote photo.

Just shoot it.

Fox? Seems on the small side for a coyote and pointy faced.

I struggle trying to figure out if we have wolves or really big coyotes. Maybe eastern coy-wolves...
