Kristen - it's funny that you mentioned "hyena" - when I was playing with the picture in my graphics editor, I first thought of a hyena also but they aren't found here (at least I don't think so).
I tried to match ear profiles with canines in my mammal ID book. The ears don't seem pointed enough to be a coyote. It doesn't seem big enough to be a wolf. The closest thing that matched the ears was a fox ....
Did anyone else have any ideas on your facebook entry?
These pictures are almost spooky! Looks like some strange beastie peering out of the woods.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a hyena the first time I saw the dark one when I enlarged it!
ReplyDeleteAhh that's scary! The eyes freak me out. xD
