Last night, driving north on M around 11 pm, near Trout Lake: We saw what was either a very large coyote or a wolf on the side of the road. It happened so fast, that we didn't get a good look. And none of us knew enough about how to distinguish them.
What favored wolf? It was much larger than coyotes I have seen. It appeared to be very light or tan (colors hard to tell in the dark)
What favored coyote? sheer statistics-there are a lot more coyotes than wolves. I didn't get a good enough look at its muzzle or ears.
Does anyone know of a good set of side by side pictures of both mammals? Not just one picture, but several shots of each, comparing overall size, ears, legs, tails, etc?

Hey, actually I was wondering the same thing and came upon your blog. Here's a site. Go clear down to the bottom and it will say Wolf vs. Coyote. http://mhanus.cts.com/ramonimals/ramonimals.htm
