The snout makes it looks like an Eastern Coyote. That’s a hybrid of wolf, coyote and domestic dog. They are very intelligent, a good bit larger than western coyotes and usually not too dangerous alone against an adult. In a pack they are more aggressive.
We have them where I live and one want to be careful with small children and pets.
A Coywolf is much smaller than a wolf, and range anywhere up to 50 pounds or so, while wolves, depending upon them being male or female, range anywhere between 70 to 100 pounds.
It's hard to tell from the picture, but it appears to be a larger animal and might well be a wolf.
@Jenny1234 Wow, I didn't know there were bears in Orangeville! Yes with all the home building, they displace animals for sure. I'm about 5-10 min drive short of Hwy 9.
@Jenny1234 I have hunted Alaska 6 times.........30 days each. I go alone and camp out along rivers...float hunt for moose and caribou....black bear if I get lucky. With fresh moose meat down in camp I have seen a lot wolves over my hunts close by. I have only seen 2 black wolves............both looked to be Alphas by size. I cannot tell size by the pic........nothing to compare the wolf in the pic too.........but it's a wolf for sure. Looks like a female.
