Hey! Saw this on the internet, this is the best screen shot i could get. Anyone know if they ever found out what this is. And just for the fun of it... have any of y'all ever seen or heard something.... odd before ?

It’s looks like a coyote with mange to me, a long time ago they used to be mistaken for chupacabras.

Pretty sure the update on that episode was a dog/coyote with mange

That's what I was thinking, but isn't their skin usually tan?

I know in dogs, mange can mess with how the color looks

I didn't know that! That's interesting the only thing I've ever seen with mange was a stray cat.

Has to be real, I saw it on TV and the internet, although I need validation from The National Inquire.

When you're trying to predispose people to see a certain thing with taxidermy, dying or painting the skin to set the scene can help...

All I'm sayin'

When the skin is inflamed and they lose all their hair, so it's exposed to the sun, it gets dark ashy gray.I used to work at a vet hospital, I've seen it a lot with chronic skin issues in dogs. Coyotes get mange a lot, sadly.

Thank you for that information! That's so sad they get mange so often. What causes it?
