Experts are working to identify the odd yet stunning dog hybrid that was captured on camera.
A Minnesota conservation organization called Voyageurs Wolf Project recently posted some images of the animal and inquired as to whether it would be the “elusive wyote dog”—a phony hybrid of a wolf and a coyote.
All kidding aside, the group observed that although the animal appeared “coyote-esque” to them, it did have some characteristics of a dog, particularly the ears.
The initiative also highlighted the animal’s wolf-like traits, particularly its “robust snout,” which was reportedly bigger than that of local coyotes.
Perplexed by the finding, VWP claims that although it definitely did not resemble a coyote seen nearby, it was definitely not a purebred wolf.
The internet will have to decide what the hell they’re looking at until further research can be conducted and some potential samples taken.
