What Is This Animal?
Looks like cross between a hyena and a fox...? When you read the article, click on the link they have there for more photos.

AtkinsonSaeed,
Although further East than I have previously seen them, that is a Del Carmin Catawaumpus cub...they only live in the Del Carmin mountains of the Texas Big Bend and in Mexico...The legs on the off side are shorter than the legs on the near side, therefore they can only run in one direction around a steep mountain...If you jump one sit down and look behind you and he will be coming around the mountain soon and don't worry they can only fall up hill...
See you in 6 more days and I will explain there nocturnal breeding habits to you and all.

Gringo CazadorIts a Nuaga, where do you think Nuagahide for furniture comes from.
Looks like something with mange -a coyote maybe? Foxes with mange often loose their fear of man, dogs etc.
Or maybe it�s a troll!

NickuduLooks like a dog or coy-dog, suffering extreme hair loss. He won't survive the winter as he is. Structurally, only the head is odd, IMO.
Nickudu,
Shit, I thought you were dead. Or is your e-mail down or ignoring me?

MarteriusYes, scabies or mange whatever the difference is... Here in Sweden, almost all foxes died in a very infectuos form of scabies and they looked a lot like that in the last stage. The population have only recently recoverd. The only remedy was gunshot to end the suffering and petrol and a match to prevent other animals to be infected... Very sad to see fox-cubs looking like that desperately seeking food dying of infected wounds from scratching, cold and hunger...

Regards,
Martin

John FrazerDamnedest thing is, one of my coworkers saw something just like this, Saturday right outside our gun club.
WBAL has two videos, though -- one of the critters looks more like a fox than the other.

N'gagiIt's an AKC purebred "Canardly"
Can-hardly tell what it is.
Another person sighting it said "I'm from New Jersey so I thought it was the New Jersey Devil" !!
Has Walter been in the vicinity of Baltimore anytime recently?
The animal is obviously a Waterhog!
That is nothing more than a coyote with severe mange. Here in my part of central Texas I see them in this condition every now and then and this mange has dwindled their numbers severely.
