it's a wolf, its a panther, no its a..... what the heck?

Well, like the update said under the photo, its a coyote. I had to hunt a few, because they were eating my grandpa's chickens.

Looks like a coyote with mange. I used to live in So Cali and have seen plenty coyotes and mange is a common ailment that makes them look extremely bizarre. Very like that photo.

It's size is peculiar, though there isn't concrete comparisons in the photo. Could be a wolf/coyote hybrid, which isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Or it could be a giant hellborn, man-eating beast of doom. Your choice.

Other than the fact it looks exactly like a coyote with mange, I have no idea?

From the angle and it being even with the top of the bumper of the truck behind, it looks to be the size of a small German Shepard sans hair. I've seen Coyotes in half a dozen states and it looks the right size for a flatlands area. I had one in Nevada get close enough to my Lab I could tell it was larger. The biggest I've experienced.

The head size I think is an illusion due to the remaining fur on its front quarters.

I think its a crossbreed of wolf,dog,coyote and maybe cougar reminds me somehow on a fox too but the tail is very weird
the animal looks very cool though

not sure if posted before but the nose if differant to a coyote. coytes noses seem
very pointy and narrow wheras this aimals is wider.

looks a bit like a wherewolf, or it is a dog/coyote mix with a fracture neck?
