After reviewing the photo for a few minutes, I have come to the conclusion that the clipping of the photo is incorrect. THe near front leg is up taking a step with the far (right) front leg down along the window frame that “cuts” the photo. The coloration is interesting in that it has black socks and what I would assume to be a black muzzle. The range of the legs and the length of hair make it look very similar to a shaggy greyhound or even an Irish Wolfhound or Scottish Deerhound. THe trouble with this thought: the chest isn’t deep enough. Even a wolf, whose legs might be long enough doesn’t fit quite right, the chest is deeper on a wolf, I think.

Did anybody look behind the Creature in the back? It looks like there’s a little one.

Just thought I would say.

Hmm. I did not see this until now. It looks like the back end of a brindle Boxer dog. It looks to me like its head is turned to the right and down, and what some have taken to be a bent head is actually a raised left foreleg.

Wrong part of the world, but the hindquarters and - is there some stripes there, or is that my eyes deceiving me? - remind me a little of a Tasmanian tiger… They’re ‘extinct’ in Tasmanian, so the idea is ridiculous… But that tail and springy lithe back legs… I wish you could see the head, because you can’t mistake the mouth on them! There’s loads of photographs of the T. Tigers if you want to look, but this sketch shows good leg/tail comparison. About the baboon comment, look at that primates rear… This animal’s isn’t so colourful. If you look at the T. Tiger’s feet, well… Maybe it’s a Nebraska Tiger *chuckle*

I saw a greyhound today that was colored exactly like this dog. And to the guy who says “the legs are too massive to be that of a dog”, What are you looking at? They are almost as skinny as the greyhounds that I saw today. there are a lot of greyhounds around where I live because folks started adopting them from the race track because they use to just kill ‘em when they got slow and the news publicized it. Greyhounds are bizarre looking so it may have startled the woman to see a tall lanky critter with stripped fur and a skinny pointy snout.

It looks like a pitbull to me. I have two of them. What appears to be the cat like head looks like a shadow.

Dog, a mangy beaten straggly broken tailed dog. This photo reminds me of the one I’ve seen of 2 dogs so perfectly lined up to the camera that one blended into the other looking like a 6 legged dog. That’s what this looks like.

As a few others have noted, the pink ears are the flowers on the plant along the window, the hump is overhanging pine bough, the face appears to be shadows on the rocks and the flowering plant’s foliage. It looks like the animal’s head is to the right and down, like it’s sniffing along. I’m sure a few of you out there have seen a headless animal ‘thing’ standing around only to realize it was a dog when it lifts it’s head up.

It’s a incredible but convinent combination of a camera focusing on a long range subject with mid range interferance. My question is was it a manual or digital camera?

The werewolf thing could be a taxidermists joke- pig/wolf, or just bad taxidermy of a wolf.

I’m a bit suspicious of the break that the middle window frame creates, since the back half looks remarkably like a dog and the front half looks much more like a big cat. (I see the two protrusions as ears of an animal looking away from the camera.) The legs do look a smidgen like a primate, though.

It’d really help if we could see clearly whether the back legs end where the image does, in which case they could be feet (primate), or if they continue into paws.

My money is on the shunka warak’in critter being a pig of some kind. If you could see the feet there would be little cloven hooves! The head doesn’t look the least bit canid.
