WolfThe gray wolf usually looks heavier through the muzzle and shoulders than a coyote, with ears that appear smaller in proportion to its head. Color varies widely. Wolves live across parts of North America and Eurasia, and a pack is often a family with young from more than one year.0 - 2
CoyoteLook for a narrow muzzle, large pointed ears, and a tail that generally hangs low when it moves. Coyotes live in many North American habitats, including open country and cities. They can hunt small prey and take advantage of other foods when available.0 - 3
Ethiopian wolfA rusty coat, white throat, and long pointed muzzle set this wolf apart. Its habitat is high in the Ethiopian mountains. Pack members share and defend a territory, but often go out alone to catch rodents on the open ground.0 - 4
African wild dogLarge rounded ears and irregular patches of black, tan, and white are two ways to recognize this wild dog. Its coat pattern varies from one dog to the next. On African grasslands and in open woodland, members of a pack can hunt together.0 - 5
DholeThe dhole is a reddish wild dog with rounded ears and a bushy, usually dark tail. Across its Asian range, dholes can use calls that sound like whistles to keep contact. That sound carries when pack members are hard to see among trees or brush.0 - 6
Maned wolfBlack legs lift its red body above tall South American grass. The mane along its neck can stand up, making the animal look even taller. Small prey is part of its diet, but so is a fruit known as the wolf apple.0 - 7
Bush dogA low, stocky body with short legs and a short tail gives the bush dog a different profile from most wild dogs. It lives in Central and South America and swims well, helped by partial webbing between its toes.0 - 8
Common raccoon dogA dark mask gives this East Asian canid its raccoon-like face. Its body is shaggy and its tail is short and unringed. The continental species has also established populations in Europe after introductions.0 - 9
Gray foxA gray back and rusty sides help separate this fox from a red fox. Look for a black streak along the top of the tail and a dark tip. In wooded and brushy habitats, the gray fox can climb trees.0 - 10
Red foxA red fox often has dark lower legs and a white tip on its brushy tail. The white tip is a useful clue because the coat can vary from reddish to much darker colors. The species uses habitats from farmland edges to cities.0
