What is It?
Can you spot the critter in the photo? What do you think it is?
Hint: The photo was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park on Friday of last week.
I went up with a friend for a day hike in the park. The weather was great and the water levels were quite high from the melting snows. The wildlife was openly moving about.

Boy does he blend!
Is it a fox of some sort?
Hi John, Judging by the tail, it is either a very large fox or a coyote with a large bushy tail, :-)
I'm going to have to echo what William said above. It certainly looks like a coyote of some sort, but the bushy tail makes me think fox.
Hi John,pitanga
Wow, he sure blends in with his surroundings!!! Looks to me like a cyote or a large sized fox. I am guessing a cyote.
I see the long bushy tail ... maybe a fox or wolf pup?
I am guessing a coyote, but it is possible that it is a gray fox.
He sure does blend into this picture! It took me a minute to find him! It looks like a coyote, a well fed coyote. The coyotes we see here in Santee are coming into the city to find food. They go after cats and little dogs. Fortunately over the last few years we see less and less of them in the city, but after the wildfires we had here they were everywhere.
Okay, thanks for the comments everyone--mystery solved...it is a coyote. It walked right past me but it took me some time to get the camera on and snap the shot.
