Off Topic Animal identification??

[SilverTip49]

Could be a coyote suffering from mange. Tail would have no fur on it.

I don’t see a tail so I’m not leaning towards coyote and more towards bobcat or domestic dog breed that has the tail cropped

The better resolution pic on the large TV you can definitely see a tail. Lots agree with you about Bobcat, I personally am towards a wild.dog. it's a long way from any houses so I doubt a domestic dog went that far.

Rough looking coyote.

Maybe one of these.

mangy coyote !!

 

[trky chsr]

Looks like a cat to me. I've seen one before near Burwell and nobody believes that

There was a Maine Coon Cat running around Pt Burwell PP a few years ago. That thing was huge! TC

Maybe it’s a coyote that identifies as a cat? We had all better “respect” its choice…

youve heard of coon cats from maine this is a coycat coyote lynx cross lol

 

[jerk bait]

Lots of " interesting " replies and still no clear consensus.....whatever it was , it sent the poor coons scrambling

.

 

[Old Cut LongPointer]

More dog like than anything else. Those are not Bobcat legs but could be a young deer playing with the coons ?

 

[Toolman13]

My guess is a coyote with mange.
(Cotote ugly)

 

[Porkpie]

Mange infected coyote. Sure is ugly.

I've seen that image before.
"Mountain Monsters".
It's a Smoke Wolf!
Lol

Tail looks clear to me. I would say with 90% certainly a coyote in poor condition possibly with mange. A lot of them look like this.

I do a little bit of trapping for fun up where I live. We see the odd what we call coy-dogs and would agree it’s either a coyote with mange or it’s a coy-dog. Cross breed between a coyote and a dog.
In southwestern Ontario it is almost impossible to find a coyote that isn’t inbred with some type of other dog.

Spotted tail deer ?

That's my best guess in this.
