No don't! It's a yo mama joke trap!

[Mr Unoriginal]

Looks like the dogs from Willow. They're looking for a Dikini! Hide Elora Dannon you midget.

[bhfgamer]

Looks like those hyenas that are on the loose... no joke. I heard about this somewhere

[snotknocker]

Don't driink the water!

[Lizard Axe]

Yeah, I thought it looked like a hyena too.

[Grave_Addiction]

It looks like a hyena with the mange.

[DMFunk]

Looks like a monkey-cat-pig

[Specter]

It also kind of looks like it has hooved on its feet. Strange!

[Graystone]

maybe a stray cat mated w/ a wild animal.

[chosen1s]

You ganked that picture off the news. They've already done a study on it and decided it was a dog with mange. Unless that was you I saw interviewed on the news, quit taking credit for someone else's story.

RUN FOR THE HILLS!

Dude, TC never said that they took those pictures or that this was "their" story. They only said that this is happening near where they live. Chill.

[tyecko]

trustcompany's a girl?

[CoffeeEdge]

Wait...did I say that? I was up all night...I meant "their,"...but I'd swear that I've heard that...

[Skylander7]

Top pic: looks like a shaved lynx crapping on some asphalt.
Bottom Pic: a violated Heina

Somebody entitle this thread the "Vengeance of Jack Hannah"

[johnnyoski]

Looks like the Umbrella Corporation is sending its experiments out into the wild !!

[AnthonyRoundtree]

El Chupacabra

[fireball343]

hyenas on the lose,

AAAHHHHHHH, wait, i don't leave near Trustcompany

let's point and laugh.

how is it that no one has even suggested hyenas to these people who think it's a monster/beast.

[Ikohn4ever]

Hyennas dont have tails I believe, if my memory serves me right. An interestin fact about hyennas is that all female have a penis, they are non functional but they have em. This is because they have so much damn testosterone, its a side effect of that.

Because hyenas don't make good news stories, that's why. And yes, hyena's have tails, they're normally not rat-tails like that thing in the picture, but they have tails that look much like a golden retriever's tail.

I saw that creature near my home in DE several years ago. I doubt it's the exact same animal, but I've seen it before.

One day I was sitting at my PC next to a window that looks on a nature corridoor. We get deer and all types of other animals pass through it. We've even had bobcat pawprints on our deck after a snowfall. We're just up against the White Clay Creek State Park.

One day I'm sitting there and this dog like animal walks across the path. Then saunters into the woods. Had a bushish tale. Size of a Coyote. It was odd because it was missing a lot of it's fur. Falling out in patches. It was also slightly emaciated. It moved without problem.

I told my dad about it and he frankly thought I was full of shit. A week passed and I hadn't seen it again. But my dad comes homes one day and tells me he's seen the thing. As he was pulling into the drive way it was walking across towards the corridor. He said it had a dead squirrel in its jaws by the head.

We never saw it again. I had never seen anything like it. But after doing a little research I came to the conclusion that it was a Red Wold that was missing several patches of fur. I was watching the discovery channel one night and they were talking about the red wolves in the south. I saw one and it just seemed to fit in with my picture of what I saw.

Here's a picture for comparison, but slightly from behind.

http://images.ibsys.com/2004/0730/3596202.jpg

Imagine this animal but missing a large majority of it's fur. It would look a lot like that animal in the image. I saw basically this animal, but 50% of it's fur was missing. That animal looks like it's missing 90% of it's fur.

[Cracka]

...obviously hyenas

[btantra]

No, Hyena doesn't have a long snout like that. Besides, Hyena would have had some fur.

I don't know what this animal is, I bet it is one of those Aliens from other planets keep sending their animals to dominate earth's animals... then they will come for us human! aaaahhhh...

[KrazyKefka]

I remember reading about it a couple of weeks ago. People were calling it a hyote, considering it kinda resembles a hyena and a coyote. Maybe some wacky cross-breeding mishap?

[FriskyTanuki]

Damn inter-species sex!

El Chupacabra

lol, i was going to post that, but figured no1 would've heard of it....their goes my figuring

I remember an X-Files episode or two dealing with the El Chupacabra, so at least a few people have heard about it.

[FriskyTanuki]

This creature has been caught, saw it on my local news.

[Grave_Addiction]

Here's the real el chupacabra!

[Kaijufan]

They have the body and they still dont know what it is!

[TJordan522]

Anyone have a link to an article after it was caught?

[Jaket]

i would be scared shitless if i saw one of those el chucharacha things.... lmao

[Rahma]

It's not a dog. It's got a snout, and it looks like hooves. (eek!)

[Ikohn4ever]

I mean it could be a lot of things, once the hair is off an animal it can look a lot different. For instance look at this black bear without hair.

http://espn.go.com/winnercomm/outdoors/general/i/P2_g_fea_bears_bald_FL.jpg

looks like huge rat and pretty pathetic.

That's the grossest thing I've ever seen.

[Zenithian Legend]

A dingo ate your baby

[beerguy961]

Probably some dog that had a mixed breed of parents. Looks like a hyena...

[Rahma]

It's a warthog. A starved warthog. Maybe.

Yay, mystery solved! Perhaps.

lmao, that looks like a damn anteater or something...i dunno

anyway, the thing they caught wasn't the one that the pictures are of...they're saying that its probably the son or something, but its a fox with mange...doesnt look like a fox to me....maybe a hybrid fox, but what do i know? i thought a bear looked like an anteater lol

[Admiral Ackbar]

I was thinking it was too big to be a red fox. Hence the red wolf. They're bigger than a fox but smaller than a wolf. In the middle of the two.

That must be a large fox then. I find it funny it could find a mate with all that fur missing!

the only foxes that i ever see are the size of big house cats....ive never seen a fox that big....i smell a COVER-UP :idea:

[Admiral Ackbar]

Well, there's no real way to sense scale on the pictures I've seen. There aren't any really good markers...

I know that the animal I saw years ago stood as tall as my hip. And I'm 6'4". So it must have been 60-70 lbs and 3-4' tall.

[Indiana]

The second one looks like a wild boar. The first one looks like some sort of monkey... maybe an exotic pet that got loose?

[Indiana]

Well that is sad it's a red fox that is losing it's hair from some disease. Hopefully they can make it healthy and release it into the wild.

[Cracka]

or maybe we can give it even more diseases and release it into North Korea
