I took the following pictures in the Yellowstone National Park of a Coyote-like animal. However, when comparing with pictures from the Internet, I see also quite some similarities with a grey wolf. So my question: Is this really a coyote?

It's a coyote - I think it's too slender for a wolf and has pointed ears...
