    Mysterious ‘werewolf’ killed in Montana

    A mysterious wolf-like creature was shot dead by a rancher in rural Montana — and even wildlife officials have no clue what the thing is, authorities said Friday.

    The beast had oddly long gray fur, oversized claws and an extra-large head — but its ears are too big and its legs are too short to be a common wolf or dog, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials.



    “We will have no idea what this is until we get a DNA report back,” Bruce Auchly of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks told The Great Falls Tribune.


    The strange discovery was made May 16 by a man who shot the canine because it tried to chow down on his livestock in the tiny town of Denton, officials said in a press release.


    The rancher called the authorities to report that he had killed a “wolf” — but authorities soon learned it was something stranger.


    The critter’s canine teeth and front paws were too short to be a wolf. And its big, floppy ears and shaggy fur were nothing like a common canine, officials said.


    True believers took to Twitter to howl over what the Franken-dog could be.


    Theories include a “dire wolf” — an extinct sabre-toothed canine that once roamed North America — and even a real-life werewolf.


    “We hope they used a silver bullet. We’d hate to be there when it woke up!” wrote @AllThingsHaunt, referencing the only weapon used to kill werewolves in folklore.


    “Pretty sure they shot a werewolf or Big Foot’s baby in Montana,” added photographer @ndakkyle.


    Others guessed the beast is a “shunka warakin,” a wolf-hyena hybrid from from Native American lore that once terrified livestock in the region.


    The North American Dogman Project
    — a group of researchers that tracks sightings of mysterious wolf-like creatures — posted a photo of the animal on its Twitter page.


    The researchers, some of whom are law enforcement and former military, didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

    Could it be a malnutritioned bear cub?

    It would have been neat if they tagged it rather than shot it. See what is was up to.

    Yes, I know that. I just think it would be interesting- because said "killer" is a freak- to tag it and follow its actions to learn more about it. Can always kill it later.

    What do they mean, it's ears are too big and, it's legs too short, to be a dog? That statement is rather ignorant, since, some dogs do have big ears and short legs.

    I think, it's a hybrid, someone's dog got mixed up with a wolf and, that's the result.

    In any event, poor creature, it was probably starving.

    Could very well be, half starved, to boot. It doesn't look too, " mysterious," to me.
