Isn't it true that a wolf's paw print (talking about the realy big wolves) is about the size of a man's hand? or did I get my information mixed up?
With that question out there what about coyote's paw prints?
and how do they compare in size?



sorry for all the questions, its how I learn.

They're bigger! Shocked



This photo comes from Jasper National Park, home to some of the world's largest wolves - and some of the world's most wildlife-unfriendly roads Sad . The hand belongs to my brother Very Happy

I haven't got a coyote footprint photo (odd, actually, I must remember to take one next time) but my tracking guide says that they're 2.5in across, about half the size of a wolf's. And easily confused with a domestic dog's, no doubt.

Questions are good. I laughed a lot in Tennessee when I was standing about with my spotting scope watching coyotes, and lots of people were desperately wondering what I was seeing but couldn't bring themselves to ask! Laughing
