I'm bad at gulls, but I'd guess either Ring-billed or California. Looks a little more like R-b to me from the wingtip pattern, but I will defer in a nansecond to someone who knows more.

The lizard looks like a male Great Basin Collared Lizard. The canine looks like a coyote.

Edited to add: My comment about the gull referred to the first pic. The second one is a California for sure.

I'm certain #4 is a Coyote...

I've run into enough coyote & fox to know which I'm looking at. Interesting to note, coyote have some fox features and they can be confused at times as a small coyote can be about the size of a large fox... Usually if a Fox sees you first, you will not see him, he sneaks away in the brush. A coyote is more curious and less timid, if he stopped and watched you as you took the picture, that is more characteristic of a coyote...
