Mystery Critters

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?View attachment 1723727

It is yet another Chupacabra image.

What brand camera, I haven't seen flash off center. Did you crop the images?

I'm a bit technologically challenged. I bring the SD cards in to my desktop computer to play them. If there's anything interesting I video it with my phone camera from the computer screen as it's playing. My boys roll their eyes....

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

Both mine were taken during the summer months. Fur was not in any kind of prime condition. My brother and father both have taken blacks in the same general area. Our Indiana DNR has reviewed the animals and verified coyote (along with our taxidermist - Hoosier Trapper).

White is rare.
I've seen a total of 1.
Reds and brindle more so than black.
Western guys tell me theirs are all alike.

These look like every Fox I’ve seen.
