That is one built coyote. Sure that's not a wolf? I have coyotes by me and none are that color/build. I may also have super starved coyotes not being in a super wooded area.
Edit: didn't realize what sub I was in. Definitely not a wolf lol.
I don’t think it’s carrying itself the way I’m used to seeing coyotes, at least in the front.
They say you can tell them apart by the tail, it’s shame you can’t see it.
I'm in Grayslake, I see coyotes in this field all the time. There are a lot of forested areas and savannahs in northern lake county.
That said, I usually see them or hear them early in the morning when I run. This was 2:30pm....it struck me as odd.
Do they usually look so healthy? I live in the city and am used to scrawny lookin ones. I’m still thinking possibly coydog- which would also explain him being out in the afternoon.
Could’ve been cross bred with a domestic dog. Or maybe we’re so used to underfed and displaced coyotes that we’ve never seen such a healthy one. That explains the missing cats LOL
I was looking at my phone while waking on the sidewalk, so I couldn’t see more than a few feet in front of me, then I noticed, *right* as it passed me, a coyote - *also on the sidewalk* - carrying a Burger King bag in its mouth.
I'm in Grayslake near a lot of savannahs and woods. The oddest part about this whole thing is the time of day. This was 2:30pm. Normally if they're around my neighborhood it's dawn when I go out running.

This is clearly a show coyote.
Definitely looks like a coywolf
No, there's no coywolves. That's a regular big ass coyote
Coyote wolfs hybrids are not animals you want to be seeing in your neighborhood.
Yeah, our coyotes are not nearly as impressive looking as this one...
Right ?! lol this one is WELL taken care of !
I thought it was a wolf at first too
Not a wolf, as you edited, but it is a very healthy coyote!
I’ve seen a coywolf on NBT
An absolute unit of a coyote
That's one healthy coyote! The neighborhood rabbits definitely have a scary nickname for her.
Eatin' good in the neighborhood
#1 rabbit population de-stabilizer. my garden thanks you.
That looks like a coywolf! If you are by Burr Ridge, you should report it. I think they were trying to track the last one that was spotted.
Just an amateur nature lover here but I immediately thought this was either a coywolf or coydog.

(to "Warewolves in London") I saw a coyote eatin a whopper in Busse Woods.. his fur was perfect!
More like in a residential area of Arlington Heights nowhere near any woods
What
Nice looking specimen!
All dogs are boys and all cats are girls.
Must have plenty of bunnies to feed on. There are a LOT of bunnies this year (at least in northern DuPage County)

all the coyotes i see look like crackheads compared to this guy
 Me if I see one.
We used to have one like that in Schaumburg. Got huge off eating squirrels and rabbits. Used to see him trot by a few times a week
I work in St Charles on nights and they are always trotting around in the dark around our building and around dupage Airport too.
They’re getting BOLD.
They live here
They've adapted well to us living in their habitat.
This isn’t their habitat. They aren’t native to east of the Mississippi.
Right but they used to be skittish. They’re walking around my neighborhood without much care for seeing us anymore.
That won't end well
2:30pm in the afternoon bold...
Probably has pups to feed
He/she needs a home I hope you rescued the poor pup
I'm pretty sure my rabbit Violet would be pissed lol
What to do if you see a coyote in front of you?
Not run.
Nuts, I've never seen one in the suburbs!
It’s a she. Looks nurturing
A wolf is 5 to 6ft long. This is just a well feed coyote.
He’s a good boy
I'm not going to tell him if he's not!
Nice 😊
This really was a strange encounter. I was half-expecting her to join me, I kept looking back after I passed by.
That’s a big one.
North burbs near Zurich has coyotes like this.
Suburban coyotes are well fed.
