So, now we have photographic evidence of what
a mangy -- VERY mangy -- coyote looks like,
and now the wildlife rescue knows firsthand
what a captive coyote will do to break out of jail.

Run free, coyote, wherever you are.

The emaciated escaped animal remains at large.
And the DNA results came back from the lab to the wildlife rescue.

Coyote, 100%.

I've seen a YouTube video of a dog that resembled that thing, and when it was cured of skin disease and properly fed, it turned out to be a beautiful Husky.

I gather that the Chupacabra is a mythical beast.
There were mutterings of Chupacabra after
people saw the rescue/sanctuary photographs online.

Whatever, I would be really surprised,
now that the creature has literally gotten THROUGH a window to freedom,
if we ever see hide nor hair of it again.

However,
the rather forlorn-sounding rescue crew
are still waiting for the results of that DNA test to come back.

Of course, the animal got away into the outdoors
just before a blizzard hits . . .

The wildlife rehab rescue place regrets to report that
the fellow, whatever he is,
escaped in the night.
He literally chewed his way through a window seal
and smashed through a window screen to get out.

of course people are looking for his trail.

I agree that he is most likely a dog.
Defensive he may be, but if he were truly feral,
I believe he would seem and look quite different.
Especially the eyes.
Also, I have seen on occasion an animal that is
half-coyote and half-dog.
Their eyes are TOTALLY different and so is their demeanor,
it's hard to explain, but it is really something OTHER.
This is also said of wolves, with which I have no experience.

Here is an update; no, they still don't have the DNA results back.

I've seen a lot of rescue videos, and I feel sure that if they just start feeding that animal, it will soon look like what it is - a dog.

Yes, guilty as charged, I am refreshing an old thread
with a post about a different animal.
Some of you may have seen this on network television news.

Obviously the poor thing is suffering badly from mange (demodectic?).
Dogs and coyotes are not THAT closely related ??
Sadly, nobody suspects wolf --
this is in the United States, where humans
have largely succeeded in removing wolves entirely.

And I (now) agree...to be fair, the above post was after a very quick sleepy look at the video, just before midnight ;-)

I think Jeri is right.

Thanks. What an extraordinary animal. I've heard of them, and I even read Riki Tiki Tavi long ago, but I had no idea they looked like that.

My bad!   NEDBANK -- I misread the name.

It's in South Africa.
I didn't know that the mongoose
was native to South Africa.

It looks like a banded mongoose. Definitely not a mink.

Mink, I think - which are wiping out native stoats in England.

At the end of a long day, the DH and I like to get our exercise by watching a little golf on YouTube.

At 2:33 on this video:

two animals that I have never seen before come across the green. What animals are they?
