you would know if it's a wolf. they are much larger.
Definitely coyote.
It's coyote. They have been seen in Delmar, Melson, and Parsonsburg.
Looks like a wolf, coyotes tend to be on the smaller side
Coyote.
Does Little Red Ridding hood's grandmother live around there?
Three little pigs live around there?
It's a Husky/Malmute, as in DOG.
I don't know whether it is a wolf or a coyote but whatever it is I think one or more are lurking near Williamsville outside of Selbyville/Bishopville area.
I am finding droppings very similar to what a fox would leave but much larger-something along the size lines of what a large breed dog would leave.
I Googled both wolf scat and coyote scat and it could be either according to the images provided.
It's Santa's Little Helper! We must be in Springfield!
A dog's tail is typically upright, that photo isn't much more than a shadow image. Could be a dog.
Chubacabra.
It would need more fur for it to be a Husky or that type of DOG. Whatever it is, I'm just glad it wasn't in my yard.
Yeti
Don't these animals live in packs? We live near there and have lost a few chickens. (we only have 12). Assumed it was a fox, but perhaps it's a wolf.
manbearpig.
its a wolf and for those who say it is not for the size, you're an idiot...
All things come in different shapes and sizes...
People come in different sizes shapes and colors so do wolves and coyotes.
All you have to do is look at the face, head area and ears... the ears tells you what it is...
wolves walk with their head lower to the ground...
Coyotes heads always appear to be up or normal when walking...
3:24 maybe in South Park!! LOL!
No, nope thats Elmer....ma dog. Lost em a week ago in Dagsburl... s'where im from
Whatever it is... hunt it... shoot it.
German Shepard
Having seen many coyotes in the wild this is most definitely a coyote!
Coyote, and their spreading rapidly over our area now. They devastate the fawn population and even take down full grown deer. They are hard enough to reduce populations out west, they'll be impossible to keep in check on the shore. Do the proper thing and poison them asap. Soak meat scraps in antifreeze and place where their frequenting.
It's not a dog for certain.
Whether it's a wolf or a coyote you rarely have the opportunity to shoot one. They don't always live in packs.
The best defense to keep chickens and other livestock safe is a good LGD-Livestock Guardian Dog. These breeds include the Anatolian Sheperd, Great Pyrenees and others. These dogs are wonderfully affectionate with humans and almost all other animals except canines.
Keeping an eye out for predators is their favorite thing to do. First line of defense is marking territory, then barking then if that doesn't work and a fox or other threat comes on their property they kill. 1 Great Pyr can take a wolf or a coyote out in literally 10 seconds without a scratch on themselves and 3 will take down and kill a bear in seconds.
LGD's have been breed for 1000's of years to help shepherds and the big ranchers out west with 1000's of acres have like 20-30 or them patrolling the pastures 24/7 to keep predators at bay. A lot of people are getting them to guard over their free range chicken flocks also.
Coyote in fact Maryland DNR does in fact confirm coyotes are in fact living on the shore
ITS BIGFOOT !
Looks pretty Squatchy.
A couple of years ago something was getting someone's guinea hens a few miles west of Selbyville so DENREC set up some night cameras and sure enough they caught a coyote on the camera.
A few coyotes lurking isn't a bad thing to keep the balance of nature in check so I wouldn't recommend baiting them with anti-freeze laced meat as this could and most likely would come in contact and hurt other animals, birds and reptiles.
Unless you have a LGD breed of dog the practical solution is to do nothing except take precaution that pets and/or livestock won't be harmed.
DOG!
