Just wondering if any of MD people have heard about this or if it's another mythe written about in Iowa news. I'll post the whole story site in a little while. It says that it is a yote hyiena mix. Says it has been spotted in MD quite a few times and pretty much on a daily basis.

Gimme a break!!!!!!!!!

How stupid can people be? (Not you Pay_Ely)

Its a dog or a Coyote with Mange......Mange is a disease in which the hair on the body falls of....I believe its contacted through ticks or fleas....[:@]

we have them in new york!! DEC stocked them (secretly) to control the DEBRA population!
MUHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

It is a red fox with sarcoptic mange.

Iam gonna put my head out on the chopping block and say,, It is in fact a hyena, if you look at the pic you will see that the shape of the head is that of a hyena,, the body is also shaped like a hyena, as far where the pic where taken nobody really knows except the person who took them. also hyena's are known for sheadding there coats in the summer months, I will assume this was taken in the summer time, early before the animal had completly shed it's coat, this is just my personal observation, I am not in any way a professional, so take it for what you will, any other suggestions?

Devilfish

Hyenas do not have long tails......look at the pic again. This is a dog with a tail.

Catskill, your right it does have a tail, but the head is that of a hyena, I cant figure out what it might be, very strange looking animal, this Iam sure will make for a very interestering thread,

It's a fake is what it is .

it looks like my ex[8D]

Now that's funny right there...I don't care who ya are !
