Size comparison between coyotes and wolf #Video

Even though wolves in our area are fairly small relative to wolves in other areas (wolves in our area average ~62-63 lbs), they are still considerably larger than coyotes when you compare the two.

Here is a video we made a few years back showing the size difference between the two. Clearly, even smaller wolves are much larger than coyotes in our area.

The coyotes in this video are typical of what coyotes look like in our area–which is why the video of that mysterious sort-of-coyote-looking- but-not-entirely-coyote-looking canine we shared yesterday caught our attention.

I.e., that canine just doesn’t look like any other coyote we have observed in our area. But who knows what it actually is!

Lastly, we dedicate this video to all the humble ‘experts’ who, often with such nice and kind words, tell us the wolves we are studying are actually coyotes! You always give us a good chuckle ;)!
