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?
Based on the color I’d say it’s not a fox, but I’m in western Europe, I’m sure there are foxes with different colors in other parts of the world.
Try uploading the photo on inaturalist.org, there are volunteers there with much more knowledge than you are likely to find on lemmy.
Its a gray fox. Not a “true fox” in that it’s not much related to red foxes or arctic foxes or that whole group of animals, but it does get called a fox.
Thanks, I didn’t even know they existed, but that definitely looks like one.

I shall investigate. Thank you.
