  2. Features The coyote is a part of the wild dog family. In the wild dog family there is also the fox and the wolf. The coyote has a bushy tail, long legs, sharp teeth, and large ears. Coyotes are about 4 feet long from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail and 20-24 inches tall up to their shoulders. Adult coyotes weigh about 20-50 pounds. Male coyotes are a little larger than females.
