NE NW skull comparison

This wiki page includes a small collection of selected skulls to be used at the 2013 ABLE Conference in Calgary. The collection sets up a simple comparison between coyotes from the northeastern US and those from the northwest. The gender of the coyotes in question is unknown, however we have selected the largest six individuals from each region. Males are substantially larger than females and it is quite likely that all twelve of the skulls on this page came from males. Setting the comparison up in this way reduces the variability that gender would introduce and therefore increases our chances of finding a difference if it exists.
