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?
Just because of the super pointy nose/snout, I’m pretty sure that’s a fox.
Body proportions don’t look right for a coyote, also, where are you? Both coyotes and foxes are regional.
I’m in north east US. I’m pretty certain both coyotes and foxes are around here. It seems likely that this was a fox, though. Thanks for the answer!
