With nothing in the pic to give it scale, there's no way of knowing just how big it is. I live in the general vicinity, and while wolves do wander through occasionally, coyote is much more common and likely.

For scale

Those are most definitely not wolves.

maybe a mother coydog with two pups.

Ok, I can make the difference between a moose and her two calves .... and a coyote or a wolf ....

But who can teach us how to positively make the distinction between a wolf and coyote?

if I saw those dogs around these parts I would say they are healthy and well fed coyotes. I say that just going by the fur color/pattern, especially at the top of the shoulders. The head is kinda throwing me to coyote as well. Large, mature coyote.
I been face to face in a gun fight with a pack of wolves and those aren't it.

Living north of the QE2, and seeing mostly yotes here but the occasional wolf, I'm saying Coyote, just doesn't look lanky enough to be a wolf, they wonder through though on occasion,

I once sniped at what I thought it was a wolf, only to find it was a coyote when I got close. It can be tricky to differentiate at times.

If it is a coyote it surely looks a size larger than a typical coyote one sees Alberta-Saskatchwen prairie.

Eastern coyote.

My guess is coyote, although they look bigger and darker than most coyotes I've seen. But the face looks coyotish.

Are those game camera images? They're much clearer than I thought you usually got from those.
