The coyote is the largest wild canid inhabiting the Adirondack Park. (The gray, or timber wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus) was present in the Adirondacks until the late 1800âs, when it was extirpated). Averaged-sized adult coyotes are about 122 cm (48 in) in total length, and weigh 10.9-17.7 kg (24-39 lb). Males are heavier than females. There are a few records of Adirondack coyotes weighing 22.7-25 kg (50-55 lb). A 33.9 kg (74.8 lb) coyote, taken in the state of Wyoming, represents the maximum weight. Coydog and brush wolf are colloquial names for the coyote in the Northeast. Much confusion and controversy exist about the taxonomy of the coyote.
A gray wolf is much larger than a coyote. Wolves are 65 to 120 pounds, while coyotes weigh 20 to 50 pounds. Track size measures about 4 by 5 inches in wolves and 2 by 2.5 inches in coyotes. Ear shape is also much different; wolves have somewhat rounded ears while coyotes have taller, pointed ears.
