Does anyone know of any morphological characteristics for differentiating wolf, dog, and coyote? I know wolves are generally bigger than dogs but I have a skull that is fairly large but some modern dog breeds are fairly large and could overlap in size with wolf so I’m looking for something besides just size to use. Thanks.

Elizabeth
