What the hillbilly saidYep.
Kinda looks like the head of a dead spike.I looked at this photo and saw the yote which is a fair sized one for sure and the hair does look a little lacking to some degree.
I also see something else that appears to be a rabbit or squirrel that seems to be hiding close beside an oak tree...possibly until this yote gets much farther away. I really think that it is a rabbit based on the larger eyes and nose area.
I hope that you will take another look and enlarge the original photo and also the one that I have circled and see if you see what I see.
It is very easy to enlarge it on your screen by just holding down the "control key" while tapping on the "+" sign at the same time. To bring it back to the original size, just tap the "-" key until it goes back to original size.
