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?

Is this a fox or coyote?

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.

    "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.
