Whatever it is, do not try to pet or hand feed it.


Au Contraire, I think you could hand-feed it. It’s eyes show that it is very sentient.

Petting, no, only with a long toothbrush.

Exciting new find, with an oral history of hundreds of years with the Mexicans.

The so-called Montauk Monster ended up being a raccoon carcass.

Raccoons don't jump or have the haunches and thick shins of kangaroos.

The guy who says he never heard a coon growl like that has never dealt with a rabid one.

Oh yes they do.

I want one too!

It is clearly sentient. Some de-worming, coat restoration (has a boar’s coat), nutritional therapy, collect the estrus (I sense it’s a female) to trap a male and breed them where it was trapped.

Several have called it a hairless or mangey racoon, and the pictures of such do resemble this. OTOH, I'd give the long time coon hunter some credence that it's not a coon.

I'd say a better body match would be a coatimundi, a "slinkier" form of coon; coons have a more 'bearlike' body. Still a horrid case of mange, no matter what it is. DNA should not a problem here, and would be definitive.

Where this was trapped is on the extreme fringe of its range, so wouldn't expect locals to be familiar with them.

If the mange is not contagious, it’s demodectic.

If it’s demodectic and your dog is having sporadic outbreaks, it’s most likely auto-immune and any type of cortisone suppresses immune function.

Wow...you’ve really got this planned out!

I’d breed for the hairless gene, myself.

That was my first guess but the ears are the deal breaker.
