Thats what I'm seeing anyways.

that was exactly my though

I don't understand why anyone would want to hide the body of something like that (unless there is no body). As of right now this looks like a complete hoax.

Thank you all for your input.

That made me chuckle a little as it is true. I don't understand, you can see the legs and skull as skeleton but does the body still supposedly has feathers? Is that just me because that is what it looks like to me.

Thanks.

Did none of you look at the first couple post. Look at the link I provided. It is undoubtedly the skull of a Jackal, placed on the body of something else. The skull of "that" is identical to the skull of a Jackal. Case closed, Hoax!

I'm no expert on animals by no means, but lets say for one second, that this thing is a bird (which I really doubt).
Then in my non-professional view this creature by definition of its teeth would be a meat eater, with exceptional hunting abilities.

Most animals with front canine teeth hunt other animals for meat, like tigers, jaguars, bears, cats and wild dogs, this creature by definition would also need powerful legs to hunt down and catch prey (all I see is it's duck feet), unless its super intelligent and can make a bow and arrows.

Im sorry but all I see is a fake, mish mash of a thingy majig, but there again they said that about the platypus 120 years ago.

12th Imam maybe?
