This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I wanted you to look at this skeleton and tell me what you think it is. If it's a dog, it's a strange, fearsome dog, like something Stephen King dreamed up. Any ideas?

Kiamichi? Ah, it's in Oklahoma. The profile looks like a dog, but if this isn't just a hoax photograph, it could also be the Thylacine.

Oh, I'm just makin' my own fun now...

Sorry, no idea what it is. Here's a link to the Dixie Dingo SunkenCiv mentioned.

Spikes on the spine?
Those are normal tendon/muscle ancorages.

It really looks like a dog dude. The skull points to a weird breed. So what, poodles have weird skeletons too.
It does not have the skull of a thylacine or wolf.
