Grey Fox or Coyote Pup?

Grey foxes are sometimes killed because of a case of mistaken identity. This shy and elusive animal may look similar to a coyote pup at first glance, but can be distinguished by its very long tail with a black tip, its orange ears, and a black stripe that runs down most of its body. They never grow much larger than a cat, so they pose absolutely no threat to pets or humans.

(Plus, it’s really not a good idea to kill baby coyotes anyway.)
