I appreciate your concern Delgar, but this thread made me smile this morning.

I needed it for some reason. Possibly due to the three day Webex Hazop I am participating in right now.

Thanks CP.

I feel kinda bad for the OP. He's all confident and telling us that he knows his stuff but people don't believe him...he goes to post proof and no one here believes him either.

Makes me curious what triggered him to think they were wolves. Delgar was there something about their look that made you think wolves?

There's a pterodactyl perched on top of my office building, and he's threatening my customers, especially the ones that are holding anything resembling a bag of food. Wildlife authorities not responding.

I'm going to be upset when he mistakes a small child for a baguette.

I don't think the OP will come back after all these posts.

Judging from those photos the man deserved it, it wasn't excessive force in any way.

you will know for sure if they are coyotes if you start receiving packages from the acme corp directly to your backyard.

Quickest way to tell is to run out and fight them. If you win, coyote. If it wins, wolf.

Maybe wear a sweater and long pants.

If Delgar is this adamant I tend to believe him, it's very obvious when you see a wolf, they're lankier and blacker usually. Like a husky on stilts. The top picture could be wolves, it's impossible to tell for sure.
I saw a wolf in Fish Creek and nobody believed me either, even though I've seen wolves in the mountains many times and hundreds of coyotes.

Sure you have....sure you have.....Care to share any pics?

In all seriousness though, there's still debate about whether wolves and coyotes are the same species, so it can be easy to confuse them. Some people think that Eastern and Red wolves are just hybrids of Grey Wolves and Coyotes.

anyway i have studied delgar's photos extensively and i have decided animal 1 is his pet cat, animal 2 is an armadillo and the little creature in the last pic is a raccoon.

I'm glad everyone is having a good time even if its at my expense.

In the two pictures I would have guessed the lone one a coyote based on size and shape, the two, they looked more like wolves but they were also quite small. None of these were the two I saw this morning however, the bigger one in the morning was a different colour, had a brownish/reddish tinge and was, I think, far too big to be a coyote.

I may well have been wrong on identifying them as wolves, if the big one comes back I'll be sure to take a pic and post even if it leads to the potential of further ridicule. Enjoy @$$holes!

The way you worded this makes me picture some dude walking out back and shooting himself in the ass so he yells loud enough to scare the coyote.
