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?


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.
