One of the best ways to identify a coyote skull is by measuring its size. A coyote skull typically measures 7.5 inches in length; so if you come across a skull that is shorter or longer, it may not be a coyote. Kenneth Mason, Jonathan Losos, Susan Singer, Peter Raven, George Johnson(2011) Biology Ninth Edition, p. 423. McGraw-Hill, New York. ISBN 978-0-07-353222-6. It is suggested that foxes, like many other animals, may (thanks to cryptochrome proteins in their retina) see magnetic north as a shadowy ring; the fox could then line this ring up with (i.e. superimpose it over) the direction from which it hears its prey rustling. It may help to visualise this. Imagine wearing a miner’s helmet (a hard hat with a torch attached to the front); the torch points at an angle, illuminating a spot on the ground two metres (6ft) in front of you. Wherever you walk, that spot of light is always two metres ahead of you. Now, imagine that you hear something moving in the darkness and walk towards it until it’s in the beam of your torch – you now know that the object is two metres from you and, if you’re a fox and that object is a mouse, how far you have to jump to catch it. The authors suggest that foxes do the same thing; they align this ring up with where they hear the rustling coming from (like a target bulls-eye) and then they know how far away dinner is.

Recent comments

On average, fox skulls have small-sized braincases with a slender and elongated structure. They have fairly long and pointed canine teeth, which give their skulls a tough and stern look. Parkes, I.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. 105 (4): 823–841. doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7998.1935.tb06267.x. Yes, it’s perfectly legal to sell coyote skulls. Whether it’s for taxidermy purposes or to fill up a personal library of animal skull replicas, you’re free to find, clean, possess, and sell coyote skulls in the market. This holds true for other skulls too, like a bobcat skull, a red fox skull, or a wolf skull. Singh, N. et al. Facial shape differences between rats selected for tame and aggressive behaviors.
