Little Good Wolf

It happened fast, the light was low and
shaded, grabbed the phone camera and
got what I could with in a few seconds.

Had just woke up and no coffee and yep
it was through the glass slider door, for
most critters if I open said door they
disappear most the time, cause then the
dogs will start barking and the cat will roar!
Photo taken at 200 feet give or take a
few toes.

What kind of critter is this really?
Young wolf, coyote, hybrid?

On a lighter note, if the Sun is Little Red
Riding Hood, then who is the Big Bad Wolf?

Beautiful animal. Maybe a Coywolf? Wikipedia claims "nearly all North American gray wolf populations possess some degree of admixture with coyotes" ,but that the lowest levels occur in Alaska...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coywolf

We watched a program a while back about Coywolves in eastern Canada/US... those animals definitely displayed traits (physical and behavioral) of both Wolves and Coyotes. it was fascinating...

That is very interesting @mattlovell! and what
a cool sounding name Coywolf, she seemed real
coy lol
The Eastern coyote-wolf hybrid West Virginia
picture on your link looks a lot like what I seen.
Have you heard about the polar bears and
grizzlies also mixing.?
Here is a cut out, there was some reddish
colouring, at first I thought GMO Fox! lol

Great catch on the shot!

Thank you, sure was tickled pink
to catch some in the little winder lol

Sure is and it might be a coywolf lol
Hope it comes around in more light
when my camera is ready lol

          I don't know, I was thinking wolf like you, but then again there are a lot of coyotes around here, but then you go and mention hybrid, and there are definitely a lot of those around this neck of the woods, maybe that what is it guy will stop by, but I forget his steemit name. Maybe he will see the post or someone will send it to him. I still think wolf, but could be a hybrid also, not so sure about coyote, it looks to healthy, but looks can be deceiving.

You know how people like to own hybrids, could
be a neighbors lol
Did you see the reddish one on @mattlovell's
link above? wow looks a lot like the eastern red
one. Hope to get another chance at a click lol

The very reason you have tracks in the snow!

🐾 There were many up and around
the driveway that we wondered about
the day b4 lol
