Is this a coyote or dog skull?

Post by Zeppelyn »

I don't hunt at all but I thought this site would be the best place for help identifying a skull I found:
Like the title says, I don't know if it's a dog or coyote. I looked at pictures of adult coyotes and can tell it's definitely not an adult if it is a coyote. So either a young coyote or dog someone shot.. any help?

I dont think thats a coyote skull. My wife who is a vet says there is know way to tell without DNA but I've seen lots of coyote skulls and that isn't one. The nose isn't long enough and the whole thing is too wide. Not an expert though, just giving my opinion.

Yeah like I said it didn't look at all like the coyote skull images I found, but I didn't know if it could be a younger one because of the shorter snout. Probably a dog then.

What? How was that a bad link? It's an image hosting site. I've used it for years and nothings happened.
