We encountered this coyote during one of our day trips with the photography group I was with. The coyote was walking along the road and it stoped to check out its surroundings when I photographed it. What an amazing animal.<\/p>\n<p>The Yellowstone coyotes are among the biggest in the United States, frequently weighing up to 30 pounds and occasionally growing to 40 pounds. The animal stands roughly two feet tall, making it easily distinguishable from its much larger relative, the gray wolf. As I mentioned previously, many people confuse coyotes for wolves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15638\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15638\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200131-yellowstone-np-713-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15638\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/posing-coyote\/posing-coyote-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200131-yellowstone-np-713-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
