    coyotes are smaller and skinnier than wolves , features are a little more feminine or even fox like ( pointier face ) . All the coyotes around here seem to have sandy coloured coats , usually a little grey under fur and black tips on the hairs .
    I believe wolves are more thick in the front , although I'm no expert .
    You see enough coyotes and you'll recognise them from a mile away . They have a certain walk , kind of a short stride and it looks like theyre running on theyre tip toes .
    Dogs seem a little more lumbering in theyre stride , they have a different gait and they almost seem more clumsy .
    I don't know about responding to a call , but when you see a coyote they always look like theyre on a mission , and they almost always seem to stop once theyre near cover and look at you . Dogs on the other hand seem to be more aimless and easilly distracted. Think of when you see dogs roaming youre neighberhood , theyre on vacation and sight seeing , wereas when you see a coyote theyre generally at work and seem to know were there going and what theyre doing .
    As for vocalising , coyotes make more of a broken yip call , not the long toned howl that wolves are known too . As far as I know , niether wild species is known to bark .
    I kill things and eat them.

    I think first you work on your language skills, then move on to predators. I'm not sure if it's Jelvis I'm replying to or Snoop-Dog LOL

    "Take 'em both and don't worry about it" is about as good of advice as it gets.
