They are both wolf men like the term werewolf says, but you are right they are very different creatures. He did say they could have been any animal. But according to legend Taha Aki shared the body of a werewolf and when he saw Utlapa kill one of his friends the rage made him merge with the wolf and he was able to phase back into a human. Now had he shared the body of a mountain lion or a bear the Quileut's would phase into a bear or a mountain lion
