Is this a wolf?

Every Coyote I have seen in that HUUUGGEE field in front of the 12th Service Battalion in Richmond has been mousing .
Be it at 630 in the morning or at 2100hrs in July has been prancing around in that field...
They are creatures of opportunity and have been known to snatch those lil fluffy purse dogs from Soccer moms in the South Burnaby/Vancouver soccer pitches.
There was even a time when a VPD emptied his magazine at one on said pitch and missed all because of the hysteria.
I wonder what these same species of dogs eat on Rodeo Drive in Hollywood?
Then again, I dont care what they eat as they are targets of opportunity for me too be it in the wild or on the side of the hwy you can might find one under my tires too .
corzatrr that looks like a well fed coyote to me with potential for a nice winter coat to be worn by a human.
Tight Groups,

In my part of the world I've seen them mousing, after grasshoppers and crickets and certainly they eat a lot of apples.

The are also hell on fawns, wild turkeys, grouse, lambs and especially early born calves, and can do major damage to a flock of sheep.
The barn cat ( and urban cat "drop-off") population seems to be always in check ... a lot of the "newcomers" rarely make it through
to spring.

I had a major "bait station" two years ago ... an old jack (donkey) succumbed ...and was frozen into place by freezing rain. Took 6 coyotes
eating away at his poor old carcass on different early mornings. From the tracks, it seemed more were partaking at night.

Coyotes are very much omnivorous ... they'll consume just about anything that will nourish them, and are great opportunists. If it's protein, they'll eat it !
 
Yeah I've seen them mousing as well.They give the mice a quick crunch and swallow them whole.I've also seen scat with a perfectly intact mouse skeleton in it.
I got these pics in my backyard in Sept.We seem to have a resident pack this year,they have been yipping and howling at dark pretty regular.We have train tracks close by so I reckon thats their main travel corridor.
I had thrown some overripe pears over the fence and they showed up and ate them
First time I saw a bobtail coyote.
