Wolf or coyote?

Re: Wolf or coyote?

Looks like a pure wolf or wolf hybrid to me. It could be a wolf/dog hybrid or coyote/wolf hybrid possibly. Doesn't look like a pure bred coyote unless it's some sort of fluke monster coyote. I've seen a couple wolf/dog hybrids around here that a guy kept as pets. Most of his were wolf/shepherd hybrids or wolf/malamute hybrids. A couple of his had black tipped tails on them similar to the canine in your picture.

Here's some pictures off a website I found that compares wolf to wolf hybrids. The canine on the left is the pure bred wolf in the pictures. The canine on the right is a wolf/malamute hybrid. The site pointed out the wolf has closer smaller set ears that have more fur on them. The wolf hybrid on the other hand has wider set ears that are slightly larger with less fur on them. They are also a bit more pointy than the pure bred wolf's ears.
