Feral animals have different "postures" for lack of a better word, than animals who are accustomed to being around people. They're far more watchful and more aware of their surroundings, and just generally behave differently than a dog who is used to people and has no fear of them. Dogs, and cats for that matter, will eventually turn feral if abandoned and it can be extremely difficult to re-domesticate them. Once that trust is completely destroyed, reestablishing it can be a formidable task.
The black one has that anxious, uncomfortable air about it that you often see with feral animals.

Makes sense. From what I've heard & read the coyote is a lot braver than these two appeared to be. We tamed a feral cat & she loves us but every once in a while she reverts back & when she does you can't touch her.

My opinion is they are dogs - too many differences in coat & face.
I have seen lots of Coyotes and none like these two.
Even this one I "Shot" a few miles from my house was the first Gold colored one as most are a mottled brownish/black to blend in the background and very shaggy coats.

See what you mean. The black one has heavier flanks (larger boned) than the pics I've been seeing. Thanks for posting & viewing. I must be the only one on the planet that has never seen a live one. :?

Don't feel bad many of our members are like you - I am 74 and for over 50 yrs of that I have lived in the rural areas of the western states - mostly in the mountain areas and enjoyed many types of wildlife - I feel very lucky.
