I recently posted this picture of canines in my yard in a comment.

It’s not a good picture. There are two animals who were both at least slightly moving and the photo was taken by my phone at a distance. My wife thinks they’re foxes but I’m not sure.

That said, whatever they are, there’s a cub in the background. It’s pretty cute. A friend of mine described it as “aww, little blurry guy.” They weren’t wrong.

In the end the question is, were they foxes or coyotes?

    Seems more fox shaped, but it’s an odd coyote or fox either way. The coloration seems off to me for a fox seems more coyote like.

      Probably thinking of the red fox, which looks. Well. Red. Like this:

      However gray foxes are , well. Gray.

      “Odd” is what I thought as well.

      A few months ago I went into my garage and there was very definitely a decent sized animal trying to break in. I don’t know what it was - I retreated pretty quickly - but I wonder whether it was related to this guy.
