This is a beautiful portrait of a coyote. The eating must be good because this one seems to be in great condition. Most coyotes have a scruffy appearnce. Voted.

SO sorry for all the typos below. I promise to spell check next time, hahah.

Great shot of a (definitely) coyote. Their long, narrow noses give them away. In actuality, the wolf is much larger than they coyote, white a 'thicker' build and a shorter, wider snout. The coyotes' faces look almost fox-like when compared side by side with a wolf. Here's a site that helps tell them apart: http://www.nwf.org/wildlife/graywolf/wolfcoyotequiz.cfm#displayQuiz (Gordon if you object to my putting this link here, I will understand if you delete it; I'm just interjecting here, so I hope you don't mind). Getting back to photos here, well, all I can say is WOW!

Okay, Edward & Caroline. Coyote it is then. Thanks for the info. First time I've ever seen one, so it was quite interesting.

It's a Coyote, there are no wolves in Yosemite. Here are a few coyotes for referencehttp://ehughes.smugmug.com/gallery/410416
