Small paws, long slender snout, slender legs, it definitely seems like a type of fox. I'm with the rest of you and not gonna jump to the mange conclusion. Besides, how did the chupacabra of Latin America which stood on two legs, had a head like a gray alien and giant eyes magically poof into a really ugly dog?

I saw the above picture, but according to the story I read on unknowncountry.com that looks nothing like the elmendorf beast. Legs are proportioned properly for a canine. The snout looks canine as well as the jaw is the correct proportion to the snout. This one is a cute coyote with major mange, poor thing. craig, thanks for explaining why my computer seemed possessed.

So no I am not just jumping on the bandwagon and saying mange for the heck of it. I have worked with dogs, been to enough dog shows, owned dogs, studied dogs, etc. and am pretty knowledgeable about them. This animal just screams 'canine'. I am not a skeptic by any means and do believe there are many cryptids out there undiscovered. But believing in cryptids doesn't mean I am gonna get excited at every misidentified common animal either. Most people don't know what they are looking at, which is the reason why common animals get misidentified as cryptids, as well as the reason cryptids get misidentified as common animals. I am a believer in the strange, but IMO this is no cryptid. We've already had manged canines (dogs, foxes, etc) misidentified as chupacabras and hyenas. This is most definitely another case of that. I want a real chupa photo as bad as anyone else, but it's very disappointing that every time I see an article saying "Chupacabra Photos" it's a bald dog. Mauka,

Its like if they found bigfoot and sombody said, "nope... thats just a gorilla. But why its seven ft tall and walking upright, I haven't the foggiest."

I thought at first it had a strip of fur down its head and back, but it was just the shadowing on the paper he's laying on. It's some kind of canine though. And it looks more like a domestic dog's shape than it does a fox or coyote, but its an awkward camera angle too. He doesn't look too healthy, so its possible its a breed/species that is normally furry but lost it due to sickness. The skin looks a bit mangey to me, and the stomach looks bloated- not an overweight dog b/c the rest of him is scrawny, but the stomach looks oddly puffy for the lanky proportions of the animal. But if it's a dog breed that is bred for no fur (like a hairless terrier, or a mexican hairless, etc.) the skin could have just gotten rotten-looking from sun damage since they have very sensitive skin.

I've seen dogs with bad mange (when I worked in grooming shops) and they are hideous. Just cause something's bald, doesn't mean its an undocumented creature :-/ Any animal can be bald. And, yes, there are dog breeds that are bred to be hairless as well. It just looks like a hairless dog. Nothing unusual. Yea it’s a dog.
