Timber wolf , coyote or large dog?
How can you tell the difference between a timber wolf and a coyote or a large dog?
Size is a key difference between coyotes and wolves.
A coyote is only half as big as a wolf.
Wolves can be distinguished by tracks and various physical features. A wolf and other wild canids usually places its hind foot in the track left by the front foot, whereas a dog's front and hind foot tracks usually do not overlap each other.
Wolves also differ from most dogs by having a narrower chest, longer legs, large feet, large head with cheek hair tufts, tail held down or straight but not curled, black tipped tail, and black spot on back of the tail.
