If you see solitary tracks with the characteristics we’ve outlined above, it is likely a coyote instead of a wolf or a dog. Like wolves, coyotes tend to live in packs, though when they travel or hunt they’ll usually be alone or in a single pair. The space between a coyote’s footpad and toes will also be much wider than that of a dog. Because coyotes are small, their prints are often mistaken for dogs, but coyote’s prints are oval-shaped and more elongated than a dog’s print. The front tracks are bigger than the hind ones, and the foot pads will be smaller on the back feet. Factors to IdentifyĪ coyote’s print measures between two and a half to three and a half inches long and it’s more narrow than that of a wolf. They’re scavengers searching for food, and they’ll go wherever they need to find it. Whether they’re diseased or not, it’s best for them to avoid your property as a potential new home.Ĭoyotes can be found close to anywhere in the United States – deserts, swamps, forests, mountains, and even the suburbs and cities. Even if you see a wolf on your property that doesn’t seem aggressive, it’s best to call wildlife removal to have the animal safely removed. Rabies will manifest in canines through aggression, usually with excessive salivating or foaming at the mouth, or they could also show signs of paralysis. If you can, look at the wolf from afar and evaluate it for signs of disease. If you see a wolf and it doesn’t seem afraid, it could either be sick or more accustomed to seeing people. Wolves aren’t used to people, and will likely run away if they see you. However, if you do see if a wolf in your yard, stay calm. If you see wolf tracks in your yard, they’re likely passing through on the way to hunt or find shelter.

Another way to identify wolf tracks in comparison to other canines is that they tend to walk in a straight line, while dogs walk in a more erratic pattern. Wolves also rely on their stealth, and are often cautious while they’re traveling. Because they are a relatively large canine, the toes in their tracks will also be more spread out compared to other canine tracks. They have four symmetrical toes on their front and back feet, and the front track will be a little bit longer and wider than the back. The print measures about four inches long. Factor to IdentifyĪ wolf is the most massive canine with the biggest paw. These animals live and travel in packs, so if you see one print, there are likely to be more in the same area. But they can be found in the Great Lakes, the northern Rockies, and the Southwestern United States.
