Hi everyone! I have been searching for info on a snarling coyote. I am wondering if the nose is curled up and wrinkled on top, I noticed a few pics that all the upper teeth show but cant tell if there are wrinkles on top. Also is the skin wrinkled up over the canines. I believe if it is I must modify the lip & nose on form and add critter clay to form wrinks, Is this correct? If anyone has good ref. pics of this please forward or let me know how much. Thanks,Mike

before you skin out . you should try reasing the nose so you can see what happens. Only up to the end of the nose cartilage will it move.
look for live references on line or at a book store , library.
all canine will be simular.

Mike, There's a guy near me that's working on a set of coyote pictures that's better than any I have ever seen. They are all taken of wild coyotes and the aggressive photos are awesome! Every reference set of coyote pictures that I have seen depict domesticated or caged dogs familiar with humans. These are all wild natural critters and the wrinkles and lips pulled extremly back to bare fangs show a much different sort of animal. My friend has been working on this project over the last 2 years and when he gets done the photo book will make all others yard sale material. The product is not really on the market yet but he probably would sell 10 photos or so if you are interested. -Aaron H.
