Mysterious wolf-like creature shot in Montana

Ummmm...

http://www.trappersreport.com/story/MT_Mysterious-wolf-like-creature-shot

It's a Chupacabra / Swampbooger cross.

That was my guess.

Thats bigfoots dog.

Definitly a grizzly cub..............just like the one commenter said.

from picture of animal on tail gate tail is too long for bear

just a cub.....tail hasn't been chewed off yet.

I don’t know about grizzly bear but I have helped with many black bears and cubs never seen one with tail that long

black bear tails fall off in the den......grizzly's get chewed off after they meet their father.......

How many of you have ever seen a bear of any age with ears like that or foot pads in that configuration ?

Clearly canid but maybe dog/wolf hybrid.

I thought I saw a black panther one night but it was just a blackbear with a long tail.
I think a lot of these black panther sightings are really just longtailed bears.

must have been born late.........

Its a Coatimondi that found a stash of vitamins on his way from the Southwest.

Can't see much would make me think bear in the pictures. Like White think is a wolf/dog cross of some kind.

I recently saw a chupacabra in extreme eastern Mt. while turkey hunting. This creature crossed the road in front of us at 2 in the afternoon around 80 yds out. Running as fast as it could. Did not have a good look at its head as it was quartering away. This thing was fully furred,had no tail and was jet black. It was also witnessed by my hunting partner. We drove up and bailed out and ran to where it was but it dissapeared. Probably 25 - 30 lbs.We both said to each other WTH is that. we came up with 99% Black Bobcat 1% chupacabra. I have seen all kinds of critters and was not drinking or smoking. Wat you'll think?

Just a canine cross. Nothing to see here, move along everyone, keep moving.

Osky

small black bear(born late) that had just met his adoptive grizzly father who as nature requests........."chewed his tail off"

It looks wolf to me but ugly.No way to tell about leg length from that picture.

How bout a mangy spring woof, drug a good ways with the 4 wheeler?

That is one ugly critter, whatever it is.

Jim

Lol I agree.

I hope they give the results as it's interesting

Any hyena escapes in the area.

If it is a Bear, who put dog feet on it?

All the pics in the article tell me it's a wild canine, mixed with a dog of some type.
The spot on top of the tail.
The feet
The head
The body shape
It all says canine to me
Some say bear. I don't ever want to hunt with you blind fools.lol

I dont think so......

What am I missing? It just looks like a ragged, springtime wolf.

What an ugly critter. To me definitely wolf characteristics after that is anyone guess.

That was my dog, black fang.

Wolf/Dog cross.

It's dead! And a mixed breed k9

It's a rubbed wolf, good lord! What is this FB LOL

In poor condition and possibly a hybrid with a dog.

Clearly Man-bear-pig. How is there even a debate?

yepper-manbearpig,and Al Gore claimed to have killed him.makes me wonder if global warming is real.

guess the stab at humour didn't work here...

bunch of" fact nitties"............

I'm surprised nobody said anything about a wolverine yet?? Look at the hair color that suggests Wolverine. And with the canine like features I definitely say it's a wolverine dog cross

Now that is the best pick yet LMBO could be some jackalope DNA in there somewhere..

If they move at normal speed,we should know something about the DNA results in a year and a half.Stay tuned.

I ain't holdin' my breath for the DNA results and perhaps some data...

Thank God it wasn't MN.
They'd spend 3 years and spend millions along with hiring a snot nosed kid for 80'000 a year to study it!

Anyone thinking that Is a bear cub should head out and get one of those free eye check ups. LOL

no kidding Beav,i thought my eyes were getting bad but guess not.

Elkhound/wolf cross is my vote

It's an attack breed developed by Jon Tester to sic on Trumpy.

They are called a Montana liar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looked like a wolf to me, I caught one same colour last season. Same size too.

DNA results are in, it's 100% gray wolf.

Another perfectly good legend killed by facts...

84.5lbs for a wolf that length is a pretty a pretty healthy weight.

I bet its an 85# female gray wolf....

canine,no doubt

The verdict is in (DNA test results):
