So i caught this on my trail cam. And my family could not stop arguing about what it is. So guys, what do you think it is.

[ny hunter]

Looks like a fox to me I would say a Gray fox.

Gray Fox

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Fox, but not sure if it's a grey or red.

I can't really tell from the pic.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Fox

[Paula]

this woman says fox, what does your family say?

[SteveB]

Mountain lion for sure.

[DTG3k]

Every animal they could think of practically. Fox, Coyote, Stray Cat. One guy from work suggested it was a Coydog.

[deerpassion]

its a jaugarundeeee

[BizCT]

Come on man....it can only be a fox, dog, or coyote....any other guesses are just stupid.

[deerpassion]

looks like a fox without a doubt, don't know why there is so much confusion on this topic... the hair is too fine to be a coyote is what i say...

[kgun12]

Could be a fox, but the tail make be think it is a Yote!

Looks like you rule out the possibility of guys having some fun and instead feel the need to call others "stupid". What does that say about you?

[GreeneHunter]

Chupacabra !

[BizCT]

It means, LEARN HOW TO ID AN ANIMAL. If only 1/2 the body was in the pic, we woulda heard mt. lion, rattlesnake, polar bear, etc.

No one called it anything ridiculous.

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Not saying i'm right or anyone else is wrong!! But don't

yotes have bigger ears and are generally a little bit bigger bodied.

This dog looks smaller, with small pointy ears.

Just a thought!

[SteveB]

Never thought about polar bear - been 7 or 8 years since I saw one of them.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Damn, i was about to say rattlesnake too!

[G-Man]

young coyote 25 lbs max prolly young of year out on one of its first hunts, tail curves up at tip. fox tails to not do this.

[hunter49]

Agreed, young yote.

I agree and you said it better than I did but that's what I meant by the tail.

[cwhite]

I'm on the baby yote bandwagon.

[erussell]

Obviously a coyote, unless it has a bad case of the mange, young foxes are fluff balls. Coyotes are not. The one in your trail cam pics is very healthy and well fead.
