How can it be a saber tooth or dire wolf when the furs of neither have ever been found?

I’m guessing it’s a dead, stuffed animal in a glass case, or an animal behind glass in a zoo. The third pic simply reflects a bystander or the photographer.

Having said that, where is the pic taken ? It looks like the inside of a wooden-walled room. A curio museum somewhere ? USA ? Australia ? New Zealand ?

The animal itself seems to have a thick bushy tail, and wirey fur. Maybe four legs.

My best guess would be an aardwolf.

Youre playing with our minds, Loren!
Are you seriously telling us that those arent two human legs wearing blue pants, with flip flops (or jandals as we call ‘em here) on the feet?
Plus youre confusing things now, as the second photo is a different one than the third.
I was going to say coyote or some small wild dog….but if youre going to stick the shoes and pants being not what they seem, and a true part of that animal…..then im stumped. another clue needed perhaps?

I was thinking Agouti or Capybara but then I remembered the article about the Patagonian mara. So that’s what I am betting on.

Aardwolf or possibly striped hyena.

I am guessing because of the tail and canine look that it is a dire wolf.

Clearly it’s an otter =D

I think it’s some kind of bear.
