PREDATORS -- Oregon has posted an online quiz to help people – especially hunters – bone up on telling the difference between wolves and coyotes.

The quiz found at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife website shows photos of the animals at various ages. As users are quizzed on their knowledge, the website offers tips on how to differentiate wolves from coyotes.

More than 16,000 people had taken the quiz in the first week after it was released this fall.

Wolves are still protected in both Oregon and Washington by state or federal rules. Coyotes are not protected and can be hunted.
