Mystery Critters

[Bixahsheesah]

I got some videos of these animals last summer on the trail cams and thought they were maybe foxes. After several months of not seeing them I got these videos last week. And now they look more like coyotes, except for the black one with the white tip tail and underbody. Any ideas what they might be?

I'm in southwestern Virginia. I was confused as I didn't think that foxes and coyotes hang out together. I will try and upload a video showing what I'm talking about

 

[Bixahsheesah]

Doesn't look like I'm able to upload the video. I took a few screenshots from the video. It appears that a coyote and the black with white critter are quite comfortable with each other. The camera spooked the coyote

But maybe they are all silver foxes. Any calling experts close by that want to try to bring them in? In Giles county..

I think they're coyotes. They all look too long legged for fox to me. The lighting and shadows are deceiving. jd

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, it does add to the difficulty.

The white blaze on its chest looks like a black coyote to me. Unfortunately we don’t have any that I’ve ever heard of here in Missouri.

Known by many as Eastern brush wolf. Alone mostly cowards. In groups, lock up women, kids, pets. and load the creedmoors.
Any trappers around?

I wonder if it’s a “CoyDog”

I'd venture to say they're coyotes. The black ones show up every now and then. A friend of mine called in and shot 2 in consecutive years in the same area in northeastern Ohio. He had DNR(?) do a DNA test on the second one and it came back 100% coyote. According to a search they are rare, but more common in North Carolina area of the US. Do a search on Melanism in Coyotes

Still interesting for sure. JME. WD

Makes one wonder if they may have crossed with a dog?
Looks more dog than coyote.
