at dogpark - fox? or coyote?

[new mom to a veiled]

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.

[Mutt_Maniac]

exactly lol

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

[slleipnir]

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

[flamepony12]

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

my thoughts exactly!

it looks like a hyena in the second one. xD But there obviously aren't any in your area.

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

it looks like a fox. too bad you couldn't get a better pic.

about a month ago i was lounging on my porch. i ended up falling asleep and was awoke by a fox licking my hand! it was probably the best thing i've ever encountered.

Thats a Fox.

maybe it was moving so fast that the camera blurred a lot of details together. like you get with a lot of action shots with fast moving 'targets'. and thats why its tail doesnt look so bushy.. ect.

also some Foxes vary in color and size. like the Red Tailed Fox i think is the most furriest Fox there is.. and with the bushiest tail(during the winter) and the Gery Fox has way less fur then with less bush on the tail compaired to the Red Tailed Fox. theres even an Artic Fox.. whith a brown coat during spring/summer.. then during winter.. its coat goes snow white. and then theres Bat Eared Foxes(or Fenche Foxes) those are so cute.

heres a picture of a Red Tailed on the move in summer.



and heres a pair of Red Tails during winter. notice the difference in coat?
