MT not sure if this is a wolf or what is it?
« on: May 24, 2018, 07:11:17 PM »
https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/2018/05/24/wolf-dog-dogman-some-mysterious-creature-montanans-look-answers/634379002/


Was it a wolf, some type of hybrid, or a creature that hasn't been seen in Montana since the Ice Age?

On May 16 a lone wolf-like animal was shot and killed on a ranch outside Denton. With long grayish fur, a large head and an extended snout, the animal shared many of the same characteristics as a wolf; but its ears were too large, it's legs and body too short, its fur uncharacteristic of that common to a wolf.

So what was it? At this point, no one is 100 percent sure.

Looks like a wolf to me.  If its something else, it probably needed to be killed regardless.

That's a grizzly cub," one commentator wrote. "Under a year and starving from the look."

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Looks like a wolf/dog hybrid, it will be interesting to see what they find out with the dna.
