Okay Montuckians, WTF is this? I'm thinking wolf/dog hybrid or full-moon Flave.

Not the first mystery canine shot in Montana. This is one shot in 1886 in the Madison valley.

Not a dire wolf. They were a lot bigger.

No expert, but common sense tells me an (unlikely) dog-wolf hybrid, what with the mismatched features.

No intelligent lifeform would believe that is a dire wolf for one millisecond. Then again, here we are...

Half coyote , half dog? I imagine when you mix genetics you can get some deformed bodies. I know when you regrow hybrid plants you get stuff that has not been seen before. A neighbors hybrid squash came up the next year from seed, it looked edible , but was some weird looking stuff. This is the best explanation I have. Half donkey , half horse is a mule. If ya never saw a mule, you'd wonder what it was, I guess.

Yeah, I think about 5 feet at the shoulder. How would you like to meet a pack of them? smile.

Went extinct quite a while back, lucky for us.

Well, no - I just googgled it. 2 species, the larger went about 150. Not much bigger than current Yukon wolves. Went extinct 10,000 years ago.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I see that some are speculating that it's a grizzly cub. With that long tail? I don't think so.
