I need a little help with this critter. I think it is a coyote, but it looks really scrawny and sickly. Here are some pictures of it. It has been running around our neighborhood.
We had a fox in Carmel a couple of years ago that kinda looked like that. I saw it a couple of times. The first time I was like "what the heck is that?", then I got a better look at it.
Thanks for the replies everyone. This thing is about 18inches maybe 2 feet tall, I'm guessing approximitly 35-40lbs, maybe less it's hard to tell. It won't let me get very close to it.
Will the DNR come and get this thing, I'm in hamilton county?
I don't have a bow....I just have noisy guns, and shooting here is a no no.
Those things it is near are basically plumbing for watering trees. A landscape business grows trees back there. They are not currently growing anything so they just have those "T,s" sticking up with short flex hoses plugged off.
Fox stomachs are even with their chests or hang down ( If full). Coyotes bellies go up like a thin dog's would. That's a fox with mange as far as I can tell.
