OK, smart people, what is it?

My thoughts on reading this and the link below were that this is some escaped lab experiment gone horribly awry. But I'm certainly open to other ideas.

I'll tell you what that is...it's freaky.

hummmm....?

Um, a hairless kangaroo with fangs???

 

[sarahm12002]

I feel sorry for the poor thing. I read somewhere that they thought it had mange. It looks pitiful, whatever it is.

C.R. Shilling, of the West Loop Animal Clinic in Lufkin said that after seeing pictures of the animal -- and stressing that his determination is "pure speculation" -- he believes the animal is probably a coyote. The animal likely suffers from demodex mange, he said, and possibly a secondary skin infection or even a congenital skin defect, as well.

Sounds about right

 

[Glorianna]

It's gross.

 

[Firscherscherling]

Propbably a diseased Coyote...

 

[brinny]

poor thing

Since we are in the ends of days...it's just the starting group of beasts from hell. Little soldiers sent in to see how many troops they will need. These coming months are going to get very interesting....

The much greater length of the hind legs versus the front legs indicate that it has elements of the kangaroo family, but it appears to be mixed by genetic manipulation with other animal species. Scientists these days have no moral sensibilities. They believe that if they have the ability to do something, that ability translates necessarily into the RIGHT to do it if they choose. HELLO, DR. MENGELE! I THOUGHT YOU KICKED THE BUCKET LONG AGO.

 

[BlessedMan]

Come on guys! It's obviously a velociraptor!!!!

 

[Ave Maria]

It looks like a sickly and diseased dead baby Kangaroo to me.

If so, I think it's telling that the first of the beasts emerged in Texas. As Heinlein would no doubt ask, "Is this hell? Or is this Texas?"

I really don't think this is the product of some scientist doing expiraments on animals. But who knows. It's probably just some kind of genetic deformity or something.

 

[arnegrim]

It's a coyote. It's rear legs are not disproportionately long... it's front legs are simply 'folded' under itself...

 

[BlessEwe]

what ever it is, its very sad...poor thing

Here is a bigger picture.
