'Wolf-like' creature shot on Montana ranch puzzles experts

US wildlife experts are baffled by a "wolf-like" animal that was killed by a Montana farmer.

The rancher near the town of Denton shot the creature last week

when it came within several hundred metres of his livestock, said officials.

State wildlife experts said they have been unable to pinpoint its species.

After inspecting the creature, they said they doubt it's a wolf as its teeth were too short,

front paws abnormally small and claws too large.

Bizarre theories have circulated online that it could be a werewolf,

a starving grizzly cub or a relative of Bigfoot.

In a news release, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP) said

it was a "young, non-lactating female and a canid, a member of the dog family

that includes dogs, foxes, coyotes and wolves".

"We have no idea what this was until we get a DNA report back,"

a spokesman for the agency, Bruce Auchly, told the Great Falls Tribune.

He added that it may be up to a week before results come in,

which should help identify the cryptid.


"Several things grabbed my attention when I saw the pictures," Ty Smucker,

wolf management specialist for Montana FWP, told the newspaper.

"The ears are too big. The legs look a little short. The feet look a little small,

and the coat looks weird.

"There's just something off about it."

The agency noted the "mythical" theories swirling online, including that it could be a direwolf.

"First off [dire wolf] was a song by the Grateful Dead from 1971," Mr Auchly joked.

"I know, I listened to it many times.


"Number two, it's a prehistoric animal, like mastodons and saber toothed tigers;

so it doesn't exist."

It's too far north to be the legendary Chupacabra, some say, with others wondering if it may be

a "Dogman".

But others think it is a coywolf (a coyote wolf hybrid), or perhaps a wolfdog

bred in captivity and later released into the wild.

It is an abomination wolf. Aboidablewolf. Nature makes weird shit happen. True story.

There are white blue and yellow lobsters and everything. I bet they are tastier.
Blue and yellow lobster taste same as regular. Gooooood :hump:

Our coyotes are cross between western coyotes and wolfs. Quite a bit bigger and more aggressive than western coyotes. And they sure dont look like whats in that pic !

Hey newf, what part the rock ?

That Trumppup is most likely a color variation on the usual Blood Orange . The way its laying you cant see the giant comb-over. The males of this species are known for micro-penises. :bigjoint: Honest.
