Several possibilities popped into my head. Could be a Hyena and Wolf Hybrid. The lower hind legs made me think that. The other was maybe a small population of ancient wolf species that made it to modern times undetected. Such as Dire Wolf or one of it's cousins from the Mega Fauna Era. It's not as large as a Dire Wolf, but it might have reduced in size over time due to smaller food sources.

I always heard that wolf/dogs could not have offspring with hyenas because hyenas are closer to cats than dogs.

In my opinion it looks like a strange wolf/dog hybrid, but it also looks similar to some of the more recent chupacabra sittings. Although older chupacabra descriptions make it sound like a flying demon creature more than a wolf like creature.

The two photos are not of the same. Look at the angle the head in the first photo is compared to the second. These are not the same pieces.

myth of the werewolf, imagine what it would look like with severe mang.

looks like a wolf to me

I disagree. It's the same creature, it's just that the two photos are taken from slightly different angles, that's all. It's a bit of an optical illusion. Look at the legs etc. - they are both identical.

Thanks for the new info immortalcamel. That front picture does show more detail. I am still on the line of it being a wolf/dog hybrid. No matter what it is I would be afraid to run into that thing in the middle of the night.

So no news on the any DNA type test?

Looks like or similar to a Chupacabra to me. It's cool though, because I live in the area where all this went down. Maybe I'll get the chance to see one?

genetic mutation is what it is.
of a wolf that is.

can't imagine that being a creature all on its own..

I've seen the animal that the Indians told of.

It's very similar to a hyena, but it has a large barrel chest and is fairly good sized with a sloping back, the face is ugly to say the least, but the head is huge.

I've told this story before here on ATS.

My brother also saw this creature, years before I did. He saw it when it was coming up behind me getting ready to get me when we were out deer hunting in a rain storm. I never saw it at the time of the deer hunt but his description fit the description of the creature that I saw a couple years later as it ran out in front of my Honda in the day time.

I must admit that I thought my brother Andrew was crazy when he told me that such a creature had been stalking me from behind in the rain storm. Its a good thing that he had kept up his yelling, or all 200 pounds of me probably would have been dragged off for a snack by that creature. I realized very soon afterwards that my brother had been telling me the truth about this creature when he openly was telling everybody about it and he was very excited everytime he told the story giving details as to what it looked like and how it had been coming through the brush behind me to get me.
