at dogpark - fox? or coyote?

[cyber-sibes]

At the dogpark yesterday at sunset, we were about to leave when the dogs ran to the fence facing a jogging path - there was a small animal lopeing along, it had dark legs & ears, and it sat down. Then came closer to the dogs and sat down again. It looked like either a fox or a very young coyote (we have both in this area) I couldn't tell. It seemed friendly & curious, like a young animal. Of course it ran off when I tried to get a picture, so it's blurry, especially the head. What do you think?

My last chance to use my friend's digital, I returned it now. But here's my two at the park yesterday.

i think it looks like a fox,since his/her legs are a darker colour.

Looks like a fox to me . Do you have cougars in your area? Except for the hairy tail looks long legged enough to almost makes me think of one.

It's most likely a fox. I don't think if looks like a coyote at all. The ones around here are a complete different color, and not as long

First off you babies are beautiful, and secondly IMO it looks really big to be a fox. In my area foxes are much smaller than that pic.....I dunno

Looks like a fox to me as well.

Yeah, at first I was thinking "fox", but it's legs were really long, and it moved more like a dog/coyote. Also the tail looked way too thin for a fox, but the coloring is right. It wasn't very big, so I wondered if maybe it's a young coyote. That's why I posted it, to see what you guys thought.

I believe that, that DEFINATLY looks like a fox. I have seen a lot of fox and that definatly looks like one. Fox do have pretty long thin legs...
Here's some pics

very thin fox

Definitely a fox. A coyote would be lower to the ground and is a little more scraggly Not to mention it looks redder and the facial markings are that of a fox.

exactly lol

Yep, Fox!
But look how long it's tail is!

It's tail doesn't look fluffy enough... Maybe it's just our foxes

Yup, it looked like a cross between the first one's color & body and the third one's tail, guess I've always thought of foxes looking like the second pic, kind of low to the ground and very furry. I looked again tonight, no visiter!

Foxes round here ARE low to the ground and furry. If that's a fox, it's weird looking! I guess foxes across the pond look different. He/she's cool though!

I have just looked up pictures of coyotes and I have to say that it looks like a Fox.

Its too small and hairless to be a coyote. Spooky and cool pic
