\n<\/p>\n

But if it’s a fox or coyote, you can probably safely leave him alone. \u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>But how will you know what to do?<\/span>



<\/span>Identifying the creature sitting next to you is crucial.\u00a0<\/span>If only you know what to look for…<\/span>

<\/span>Let me help<\/span>

<\/span>First, take a look at the\u00a0differences in size, below:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>But unless a wolf, a coyote, and a fox are all sitting together on your train, (not likely), comparing their sizes is not going to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Color?<\/i>\u00a0well, no. Coloring of the three animals can look very similar, so that’s not good either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay,\u00a0ears<\/i>. That’s a good start, because coyote and fox ears are fairly large and pointy. But w<\/span>olf ears are smaller and have rounded tips.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

And\u00a0snouts<\/i>? \u00a0Yes! \u00a0Coyotes and foxes have narrow snouts, wolves’ snouts are broad, like a dog’s.\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, wonderful. \u00a0Let’s take a closer peek at our train companion:<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hmmm, slim snout and pointy ears. \u00a0Whew! \u00a0So it’s not a wolf. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then it’s got to be a coyote or fox. \u00a0Now what?<\/span><\/p>\n

Eyes.<\/i>..are a dead giveaway. \u00a0Did you know that the pupils in a fox’s eye are slit like a cat’s? \u00a0But coyotes have round pupils like a dog does.<\/span><\/p>\n

And\u00a0tails<\/i>! \u00a0Fox tails are so long that they can drag on the ground, while coyote tails only reach their back hocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Let’s test these facts on our companion. The train photo doesn’t reveal much about the eyes…but I think that tail is short, or it would be wrapped around the body more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Sooo…..coyote! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also known as the\u00a0<\/span>Prairie wolf, and the Am<\/span>erican jackal, and even the\u00a0<\/span>Brush wolf.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

Whoa, lots of names for this clever guy.<\/span><\/p>\n

He lives almost everywhere in North America; even, as we’ve seen, in the cities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And now we know how to identify him!\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>How about I make up a little chart…visuals really work for me when I’m trying to learn something:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Got it? \u00a0Good. \u00a0Because, uh, there’s a little test…<\/span><\/p>\n

See if you can identify these animals as wolf, coyote, or fox:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

How was it? \u00a0As scary as sitting next to a coyote on a train? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s see how you did. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the answers below:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

If you did well, you could easily be certified to ride the trains in Portland without any negative affect. \u00a0Congratulations!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But now…what about that creature in the public bathroom?<\/span><\/p>\n
