What is it?
A mysterious wolf-like creature is baffling biologists after it was recently shot in Montana.
Explanations range from it being an unknown type of hybrid wolf or even a creature not seen since the last Ice Age nearly 11,000 years ago.
“We have no idea what this was until we get a DNA report back,” said Bruce Auchly of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. “It was near a rancher’s place, it was shot, and our game wardens went to investigate.”
“The whole animal was sent to our lab in Bozeman. That’s the last I ever heard of it.”
Like a wolf, the creature has long, grayish fur and an extended snout, but unlike a wolf, its ears are too large and its head and body are way too short.
“Several things grabbed my attention when I saw the pictures,” said Ty Smucker, a wolf management specialist. “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 news has fueled speculation it’s a “dogman,” a crypto-canid species said to roam the northwest.
