Notice how the eagle puff himself up and spreads his wings outward to make himselfappear larger to the wolf. Great adaptation eagles use when threatened.

There are other pics out there and is a coyote, as others have said.

If you go to roaringearth, you can see the whole video of when the eagle lands on the deer carcass and interacts with the coyote:

Two beautiful creatures. Love the picturew. Agree with poster about this not being a wolf. Wolves are so beautiful.... Th Bald Eagle fears nobody!

It looks like they're both after the same prey because the snow looks dirtied.

You'd think the wolf would go after the eagle, but looking at the eagle's beak---maybe a bad idea.  Probably just as nasty as a wolve's teeth.

That wolf looks a bit scrawny and almost like the eagle could take off with it in it's talons.

Survival of the fittest.  It  hurts to see who goes hungry, but it's Nature.

Oh, that makes much more sense than what I said.  That's probably what the interaction is about. 

That type of beak can be brutal!  My bird has that type of beak although, of course, he is MUCH much smaller as is his beak and I can only imagine the chunk that can take out of anybody!
