Above is a link to an article I recall from years ago. Looks to be a similar creature. The guy’s grandfather killed it in Montana 121 years ago.

Looks to be the same creature as the one just shot. Are they animals that were just not classified?

Thanks for the post and link. A great read. DNA comparison and positive ID might be nice but the mystery. From 1886 to now is great. Maybe we shouldn’t really know.

It does look like a Shunka.

Crypto ping?

From the story linked in #52:

The “ringdocus” or “shunka warak’in” - two of the names it has been given over the years - strongly resembles a wolf, but sports a hyena-like sloping back and an odd-shaped head with a narrow snout. Its coat is dark-brown, almost black, with lighter tan areas and a faint impression of stripes on its side.[snip]

The tale was again picked up by writers Loren Coleman and Jerome Clark in their book “Cryptozoology A to Z.” In that book, Coleman linked it to a Native American legend about the “shunka warak’in,” a creature that snuck into camps at night to steal dogs.

From your link...

DEIRDRE EITEL/CHRONICLE Jack Kirby poses in Ennis next to the wolf-like creature his grandfather shot in 1886 in the Madison Valley. He is holding the G.W. Morse rifle that was used to kill the animal. Kirby retrieved the mount from an Idaho museum where it was being stored.
