definitely the elmendorf beast. I love how mange can also change the jaw structure and leg length, plus how quickly the blood clots (and actually disapears). Not to mention the first few killed began to decompose almost immediately. yeah, that’s just mange. Chupacabras? who knows

Could be hairless Chinese Crested Dog that got loose and became horribly sunburnt as they so often do if left outside. Do a search on, Sam, the worlds ugliest dog to see a good example.

I’ll respectfully agree with your agreement to disagreement in this situation. No biggie.

The other animal that looked identical to this one was identified as a coyote.

The proportion anomalies are due to the body positioning and the angles the pictures were taken at.

The animal looks strange because its an animal that is normally very bushy and furry – likely a Coyote or Coyote-mix – that now is hairless due to (likely) sarcoptic mange.

Okay I do see what appear to be a couple of claws. I still cannot detect digits. The feet look like clawed hooves (!)

Hi:

Look at the shot of the “feet”.

Those look like hooves, not paws. No individual digits or claws are apparent.

If they’re not paws, it’s no coyote and no canine.

Thanks.

That’s no coyote and it’s not a member of the canid family that I’ve ever seen. Believe me, here in Texas, I’ve seen my share of coyotes. That’s no mangy coyote. His hind legs are too long, and his front legs are too short to be a coyote. His tail doesn’t look long enough, and his snout looks too long and narrow to be coyote. I don’t know what it is, but I know what it isn’t – and it is not a coyote.

“Maybe a Kangaroo and a Wild Hog or even a Coyote and a White Tail Deer.”

Uh…not to burst your bubble, but those are impossible.
