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?


Definitely gray fox. The face shape and color patterns are not coyote like at all. Tail also appears more fluffy like a fox, not coyote like.
