There seems to be very long claws and at front paws. Such claws are not seen in canines (only pathological) and also not in raccoons, but they look exactly like the long strong claws of a badger (which would also fit overal body-shape, limb proportions and dentition).

For comparison the shorter and curved claws of the raccoon which is much more a climber than a burrower.

All I have to say is it looks real…so if it is photoshopped, we have come to the point in technology where pictures can no longer be evidence of anything…

@tbuck
A turtle can not crawl out of it’s shell (because the shell includes portions of the ribs.

Still think it’s a pitbull or some other kind of dog. (http://bulldogbreeds.com/breeders/pics/chuck3_pitbull.jpg)

I found a pic of a pug skull on google, and while theres a few differences, mainly the forehead on the mystery creature slopes a bit too much, i think it’s kind of probable that it is a pug or some sort of crossbreed.

I agree with captainnemo, I think that this could very well be the body of a pug. I have two pugs, and it is the first thing I thought when I saw this picture. They are fairly deformed looking dogs, skull wise, and the body shape is just like that pictured. If the upper lip was to rot away, I imagine a dead pug would look very much like this. The only problem I have with this idea is the tail. Pugs have very tightly wound, curly tails, however they CAN straighten it out when they want to. I’m not sure what happens to their tail when they die, maybe someone here can tell me. If a pug’s tail relaxes upon death and straightens out like we see here, then I’d propose a pug as a candidate for what this creature might be. Those paws don’t really fit in, but as others have said, sun and decomposition can do strange things to a carcass.

As i’ve already stated I’m firmly in the canine camp on this one…

…and on that front I stumbled upon this (quite possibly ludicrously overblown and scare-mongering rather than based on ANY facts whatsover…) group in Facebook… an interesting aside i thought.
