Imagine walking through the woods and seeing this.
Howard Martin posted this photo on Facebook and now many are doing their best to identify this very strange animal.
The photo was reportedly taken near St. Francisville, north of Baton Rogue, in Louisiana and it shows a four-legged animal, with no fur, hopping over a branch.
Some on social media have suggested that this animal may be a coyote with mange, while others say that it may be another breed of animal that is sick.
Now, because this is on the internet, like you, we too will approach this photo with caution. This photo could be edited and not authentic, but many are suggesting that they too have seen such animals while out in the wild.
As a matter of fact, someone commented under the original post saying that they have shot one like above.
Jokingly, some have even suggested that the animal in the photo here is part of Louisiana folklore. Yes. some are saying that this may be the "Roogarou."
What are your thoughts on this photo? Is it real and if so, what type of animal is this? You can comment on the social media page that directed you to this story.
Hound of the Baskervilles.
Looks like a Blue Doberman. Many eventually lose their hair.
Looks like a cross between a dingo and kangaroo that was imported from Down Under. It’s a Dingaroo!
LSU Sophomore
Clearly a canid with mange, nonetheless, it’s noteworthy from a folklore perspective that St. Francisville, LA is home to the Myrtles Plantation, reportedly one of the most haunted places in the U.S.
And their tails :)
Coydog. Part coyote, part dog.
I’ve seen at least one around here. They’re ugly as sin.
It’s a doggie.
To me, looks like it could be a kangaroo. . . odd camera angle makes front legs look bigger than they are
If you were to cook this the cajun way I’d suggest a nice spicy kangareaux.
Baton Rogue?
Don’t their eyes crust over when they have mange?
😂
It’s a Great White Shark.
Xoloitzcuintli or Mexican hairless
I saw them in a movie with Will Smith. They bit his nice dog.
Don’t you mean LSU second year student/s
It’s a democrat politician.....
a mangy dog
some canid with a raging case of mange.
