Mysterious ‘werewolf’ killed in Montana

A mysterious wolf-like creature was shot dead by a rancher in rural Montana — and even wildlife officials have no clue what the thing is, authorities said Friday.

The beast had oddly long gray fur, oversized claws and an extra-large head — but its ears are too big and its legs are too short to be a common wolf or dog, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials.

“We will have no idea what this is until we get a DNA report back,” Bruce Auchly of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks told The Great Falls Tribune.

The strange discovery was made May 16 by a man who shot the canine because it tried to chow down on his livestock in the tiny town of Denton, officials said in a press release.

The rancher called the authorities to report that he had killed a “wolf” — but authorities soon learned it was something stranger.

The critter’s canine teeth and front paws were too short to be a wolf. And its big, floppy ears and shaggy fur were nothing like a common canine, officials said.

True believers took to Twitter to howl over what the Franken-dog could be.

Theories include a “dire wolf” — an extinct sabre-toothed canine that once roamed North America — and even a real-life werewolf.

“We hope they used a silver bullet. We’d hate to be there when it woke up!” wrote @AllThingsHaunt, referencing the only weapon used to kill werewolves in folklore.

“Pretty sure they shot a werewolf or Big Foot’s baby in Montana,” added photographer @ndakkyle.

Others guessed the beast is a “shunka warakin,” a wolf-hyena hybrid from from Native American lore that once terrified livestock in the region.

The North American Dogman Project — a group of researchers that tracks sightings of mysterious wolf-like creatures — posted a photo of the animal on its Twitter page.

The researchers, some of whom are law enforcement and former military, didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

So this is interesting....

they need to get a hunting party and kill off the remaining wolves in the area.
 
I killed tons of those things in farcry 5
 
It's a whale. It's always a whale
 
It's clearly just a wolf that bred with some form of domesticated dog.
 
That's that fucker that was trying to get Atreyu
