I grabbed this pic this morning from the nps.org website. I can't tell what the critter just left of center is. I've narrowed it down to a coyote, cougar or bear. Any guesses?

Kind of looks like a bear to me, but I can't tell for sure. Interesting picture, though!

Mountain lion or big coyote. Neck looks wrong for bear. Also looks to long for height for bear.

I'm guessing a coyote. Sun on its behind and his neck and head in the shade looking away.

I'm also going with coyote. Not the right shape for bear, I think.
