There are three variations of coyotes in the park, and the largest (mountain coyote) is commonly mistaken by the misinformed for a gray wolf.

It would be awesome to have been that close to a coyote. I see them all the time down here in Arizona and encountering them never gets old for me. Any chance to interact with a wild creature (respectively of course)always amazes me.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449214435075102905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460698859071635262.post-49317857555171983622010-10-24T20:47:43.083-07:002010-10-24T20:47:43.083-07:00I meet grey wolf near half dome last week.

I grew up in the dust bowl of California, and we saw coyotes day in and day out. This is the classic example of the animal that scurries across the road and preys on rabbits and small animals in the area. Seeing coyotes every day of my life, I am 100% sure this is a coyote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460698859071635262.post-19202320652011378012009-12-29T14:37:02.507-08:002009-12-29T14:37:02.507-08:00contrary to ted mac's assertion, there are wol...contrary to ted mac's assertion, there are wolves in yosemite, in recent years in increasing numbers. unlike the coyotes and black bears common to the Tuolumne backcountry, these far-ranging large predators are a serious danger to the enormous number of tourists that throng the park each year. no serious incidents have yet been reported, but park rangers frequently trap and kill wolves that show any sign of becoming acclimatized to the park or including it in their range. unlike solitary coyotes or bears, these pack animals would pose a great danger to park visitors, particularly in winter, when prey is scarce. as hunting restrictions have started repopulating larger game animals in the lower 48, larger predators are also expanding their range. until 100 years ago the grey wolf had a range that extended as far south as Georgia in the east, and to the mexican border in the westUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205383865517351813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460698859071635262.post-86160560696447049922009-02-14T07:21:00.000-08:002009-02-14T07:21:00.000-08:00This is a coyote.
