Ralph Wolf is not an “alter ego” of Wile E. Coyote, although they both look almost identical and use Acme products to try to catch their prey; there are some important differences. The first difference is that even though wolves and coyotes look very much alike in the Looney Tunes universe, Wile has a black nose while Ralph has a red one. Second, Wile almost always tries to catch the Roadrunner, while Ralph has a job to try to catch sheep. Third, Ralph has a working man’s sort of voice, while depending on which incarnation, Wile has no voice, but uses signs to communicate, or he has a very educated and almost snobbish tone.
