I don't know....it sure acted,sat, grabbed, and stood like a coon...
Use you imagination and put a very thick coat of fur on him and you have a adult raccoon....IMO
But test to see for sure...But I would wager on it...:-)

I’m more impressed with the finding of a Redneck Couple in their natural habitat than the trapping of a chupacabra......

I hope these people keep it, and we can watch it grow into the world’s biggest bald raccoon.

How can the so-called expert call this a damn dog, when the heck have you ever seen dog eat with it front paws in the same manner as human fingers, this creature ain’t no canine!

My dog is prone to getting that same sort of mange...
It's really a relative of human scabies. I am sure the family will likely end up with it as it crosses over to humans if it is the same stuff we have in Arkansas and Louisiana. Some varities can only bite humans and not multiply, others can infest either..

Must not be raccoon people....lol
I have the buggers on top of my roof every year....entire families of them...and they don't generally like me much.

Do you think they could put it in a larger cage? It looks cramped.

But Coons have short, flat faces, not wolfy ones. And black eyemasks.
This looks like a crazy hybrid crossed three times, unable to reproduce. The haunches and implied vaulting ability is something we don't have in our known stock.
The key is to isolate the haunch (and hunch) genes. Mini-kangaroo X wolverine?

Looks like three videos ran together. First animal I can’t tell, second looks like a coyote, and the dead one also looks like a coyote to me.
Dogs usually run with their tails arched up, wolves with their tails held horizontal, and coyotes with their tails straight but slanting downward.

I'm sorry, but this is
not a raccoon.
In my opinion, some folks are stretching the bounds of reality to find some reasonable explanation for what this thing is. I don't know what it is either, but I'm not willing to call it what it isn't.

Well, without having a hands on look, I am assuming that the mange is responsible for what looks like deformation of the creatures hide, especially around the face and gum line. Also the area around the ears, because the lice like to nest in those area where the larvae can access a lot of fluids and easy places to drill into.
I base this on my own personal experience with mange in canines. I have to use a lot of hydrocortizone and vitamins to get the animals skin back into decent condition.
As to the haunches....lol...not much of a skeletal expert. raccoons sit up a lot on their haunches. They sit like a baby in a way....this one seemed to do that in the vid I saw. He also knew to grab the cage wires...and the growl was unmistakable..

Use you imagination and put a very thick coat of fur on him and you have a adult raccoon....IMO Don't think so. The snout is much too long and pointy, and the eyes are way too huge. Even the ears are the wrong shape and size for a raccoon.
I'm not making any bets on what this is. It doesn't match any type of animal I'm familiar with.

Whatever it is, do not try to pet or hand feed it.
To: Windflier
Well, I am not going to belabor the point.
Historically all these deformed hairless creatures always turn out to be coyotes, foxes (grey or red) or dogs...
Frankly I have never seen one that ended up a raccoon, but there is always a first time....lol

Most people have never seen one without its coat on.

It’s likely an entirely new species, with the intelligence of a fox and the spring of a kangaroo.
Probably even smarter than a wolf.
