Coyotes tend to be more slender; have wide, pointed ears; a long, tapered muzzle; yellow eyes; slender legs; small feet; and an uncurled, bushy tail which is carried low to the ground.
Coyotes appear to have low susceptibility to the "raccoon" or mid-Atlantic strain of rabies found in Connecticut (during 1991 to 1997 over 3,000 tested raccoons were rabid while over the same period only one coyote tested positive for rabies).
Coyotes are susceptible to strains of rabies that occur elsewhere in North America and to the other common canine diseases such as canine distemper.
