7. Not really.

Coyotes can get pretty big. The way I can tell it's a coyote is that it's not all that big, the legs don't look too long which is a tattle-tale sign, the tail almost reaches the ground and it has a pointy muzzle. If you could see its feet, that would be another way to tell, wolves have huge feet with large toe pads.

In the video, that animal barely clears the bumper on a couple of the vehicles passing by it. And, coyotes are more likely to be aggressive than wolves, believe it or not.
