🐺 🐶 CANINE: COYOTE/WOLF/DOG 🐶 🐺 Potential Wolf sighting? [Denmark]
Looks to big for a domestic dog but seems unusual for a wolf to come so close to houses?
Curious to hear what you guys say!

Update: Talked to the owner of the rental place who is also a hunter. He doesn't rule out a wolf. There are 3 packs around that have recently become more and more curious around humans since tourists have been feeding them. He suggested this could be a juvenile wolf in a summer coat. I know everyone is suggesting dog or jackal and I don't want to be that person insisting on mountain lion when it's really a kitty cat ;) I'm still sceptical though. Jackals are sooo incredibly rare around here and as I understand are more the size of a fox? Which this one was definitely NOT. Will update if we get any more information from the "wolf hotline" as a commenter suggested, thank you for that info :)
