Ok, I give up! What is it?

I got a new set of pictures on my trailcam recently. It's another "what iz it" moment.

Doesn't look like a coyote. The face is just all wrong. It's a juvenile, but I think it looks more wolf like than yote.

I’ll apologize first...sorry John!

CHUPACABRA!!!!

I got one of them too.

Apparently.

Both those guys look quite a bit alike....head and ears sure look similar.

Google reverse image search was useless...says "whitetail deer" lol

To me, it looks like some sort of strange hybrid canine....quite odd looking anyway.

Below is a link to an article from 2011. Scroll down the page and you'll come to a few pics of what are purported to be the taxidermied remains of this Texas Blue Dog...aka Chupacabra.

It looks EXTREMELY similar to the creature in your pics.

However, I'd be more inclined to think it's something more like a feral mixed breed of some kind than a chupacabra...lol! See the link below.

I've heard of coy-wolves, but not sure that I have ever seen one.

About 3 years ago, I was deer hunting. I got to my spot before daylight and it was just getting light enough to see. All was quiet Sunday morning. You could hear a pin drop in the woods and the squirrels weren't even stirring yet.

As I was sitting there, I heard what I believe was a wolf start howling off in the distance to my north. It started howling and went on for 5 or maybe 6 minutes. A long mournful sounding howl. And then it stopped as suddenly as it started and I've never heard it since.

But I am 100% positive what I heard hunting that morning was not a coyote or dog. Coyotes have more yippy and whistly sounding calls. It was absolutely a wolf howl that I heard.
